With warm weather here, you'll likely be wanting to go on hikes and camping trips with your friends — and you'll want a solar panel charger that can keep all your devices ready for use. If you're into prepping, you may also want one in case the power goes out during thunderstorms, heat waves, and hurricanes. Walmart has a great option to add to your survival supplies.

The Yelomin Foldable 30W Solar Panel Charger is just $30 at Walmart. And it comes with free shipping.

The solar panel only ways 2.4 pounds and it can be easily folded to a small enough size to fit in your backpack (down to 11.61"x6.49"x1.77"). It has a high-efficiency conversion rate of up to 23%, and an adjustable kickstand so you can aim it just right for direct sunlight exposure.

The solar panel has two charging ports: a USB port and a Type-C port. Each has a maximum output of 5V/3A. The solar panel is designed to charge multiple devices at the same time, and it uses smart charging tech to provide optimal charging speeds to different devices.

It's also easy to carry, and comes with carabiners to hook onto your backpack if that's your preference. It also comes with brackets and buttons, plus a 59-inch USB Type-C cable.

One happy buyer writes on Walmart's website: "This solar charging panel is easy to use and very reliable. I took it with me on a camping trip, and it worked perfectly—charging my devices quickly even in partly cloudy weather. The design is lightweight and portable."
