Without a doubt.
It is simply turned on by exposing it to the sun. On the cord connection box, look for a small blue light.
For a week, I sailed with the Goal Zero Nomad 10. In the Caribbean, we went on a long sailing trip. During the day, I tied the panel flat to the deck to charge a portable battery that I use to charge my cellphone each night. Although I never submerged the panel, I was occasionally splashed by waves and light rain. It was a huge success.
That's correct. The website reflects this.

The Goal Zero Nomad 10 does exactly what it says it will. I took it with me on a week-long sailing trip across the ocean. During the day, I used the panel to charge a portable 10000mAh USB battery (ANKER PowerCore 10000), which I used to charge my cellphone and go-pro camera. Every night, a pro. Although the panel received direct sunlight, it was occasionally sprayed by a breaking wave - Despite the fact that it was never overly wet. The device performed admirably, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good deal. The device's only drawback is that it lacks carabiners and fastening clips.
Customer reviews are extremely important to me, and they frequently assist me in deciding what to buy and who to buy it from. Despite the fact that I purchased during the Corona Pandemic, this product is exactly as described and arrived promptly! I would purchase this item again. Will recommend them to anyone in need of a charging station for their phones and tablets. Thanks!.
I recently purchased and tested the Goal Zero Nomad 10 with the Goal Zero Flip 20 on a mostly cloudy day, and I was very pleased with how quickly it charged the device despite the less-than-ideal conditions. br>br>In order to put things in perspective, I live at 4900 feet above sea level. Even on a cloudy day, UV levels are extremely high in a high desert. In just under 6 minutes, the Nomad 10 had fully charged my Flip 20 (which was completely dead). The first hour of charging was clear and sunny, followed by thick to partly cloudy conditions for the remainder of the charging time. Every hour, I checked the charging progress on the Flip 20 (which has four LED lights to indicate the power level), and it was charging to some extent even in the cloudy conditions, but the best charging occurred, predictably, during the first hour when there were no clouds overhead. I haven't had the opportunity to test it out on a perfectly clear day yet, but based on how quickly it charged the Flip 20 in the first hour, I estimate it would charge completely in 4 to 5 hours in direct sunlight. br>br>Overall, the Nomad 10 has exceeded my expectations. After conducting extensive research on portable, light-weight solar options and having had positive experiences with other Goal Zero products such as the Flip 20, I chose the Nomad 10 because it strikes a good balance of wattage, size, durability, weatherproofness, and weight, and I'll be using it primarily for backpacking, bike packing, car camping, and emergency use. br>br>The only improvements I think Goal Zero could make are to make it fully waterproof (the USB connection point is the only place where water could ruin a power bank or other device that is being charged) and to reduce the weight even more by using titanium for the bracket that holds the Goal Zero brand power banks as well as the adjustable stand. It would cost more, but the weight savings, especially for backpacking and bike packing where ou need to carry a lot of gear, would be worth it.
I went desert camping and it took a long time to charge my external batteries. It's a great design that actually accomplishes something. It outperforms other solar panels used for camping.
Only a pound and a half. This came in handy during a recent 5-day backpacking trip. With so much sunshine, I didn't even need my power banks. In direct sunlight, it charges extremely quickly. In fact, I couldn't tell the difference between being near an outlet and being in direct sunlight. It weighs just over a pound, so it's a bit heavy. On a leisurely backpacking trip, however, it is well worth the money.
I'm kicking myself for not trying this panel sooner. The return window has closed because it does not work. What a letdown.
I've used it for everything from a fan when the power goes out to power banks to keep my phone charged. It charges in about an hour.
