I suspect my USB panel has been over glorified by the Chinese marketers.
My hopes are it will be 5w producing 1A at 5v instead of the reported 7w at 1.4A 5v.
Hope its not 4w at 500ma.. as that will not charge my 5AH Power bank, it requires 1 Amp of 5v to charge.
My phone and smaller 5,600mah power bank will charge at 500ma.
I suspiciously wait for its arrival.

My true RMS multimeter will be able to measure its mill-amp output.
True RMS multimeter can accurately measure pure sinewave and distorted waveforms unlike their cheaper counterpart (an averaging multimeter) which can only measure pure sinewaves.
But true RMS multimeter's cost around $300 where as a normal multimeter cost $5-$30

I will be reading the Winter output even if its a sunny day so for continuity I will measure again during summer and add its power output to this thread, find out if this little panel is worth its salt or not..
