Total teardown of a folding solar panel (Patreon)

Inside an eBay folding solar panel - with schematic

A very common folding solar panel for camping use, that is often misrepresented visually and with grossly inflated specifications on the digital dumpster known as eBay. Don't rely on this to charge a phone in a remote location, even in very sunny weather. Any output would be best channeled straight to a power bank to catch as much energy as possible all day long, and then charge a phone at a sensible current later. It might have its uses for charging simpler devices like lights. Note that the unit isn't really waterproof and will corrode internally if used as shown in the listings.
