Technical Breakdown: What Makes 40W Special?

Unlike bulkier 100W panels, a 5V 40W solar charger hits the sweet spot between portability and performance. Here''s why:

Specification	5V 40W Panel	Standard Power Bank
Charge Speed	3-4 hours (full phone charge)	2-3 hours
Weight	1.2 lbs	0.8 lbs
Lifespan	8-10 years	2-3 years

Real-World Success Story
