So...read about many people not getting how to get this device to work. They want plug and play..but that not how solar really works for the beginner..

1. Plug it into your Iphone 4..and let the panel heat up..mabye 1/2hr. Iphone 4 gives a device not supported notification...thats because the panel has not warmed up enough to generate enough power yet...be patient young skywalker. Put the phone in shaded area while panel is in direct sunlight...and go do something worth while...like "not" surfing the web...i.e. finger painting, real surfing, segway...

now...my hot car with panel inside window facing sun..generated a 50% charge in 3hrs! Not pad! Im happy with this. Put it on your backpack during your walk. I got a full charge while backpacking on beach..all day...and I got good charge while listening to music!

Hint: put it on airplane mode...and turn off all apps...during recharge..so iphone will be practically off..and not trying to find a signal; get it?

I am on the fences with the Nomad 7, pending how customer service will deal with my issue. I have and Env Touch phone, a regular non-smart phone. I started the day with 3 of 4 bars power. I received my Nomad 7 and decided to see how long it would take to top off battery. After 1 hour plugged in and in direct sunlight, my battery was REDUCED to 2 bars. I don't think this is how it was suppose to work. Maybe the phone has to be off I ask myself. I powered off my phone and waited another 2 hours (in direct sunlight). I then powered my phone on and it was completely dead. Dead as a door nail. I assume that something is wrong somewhere. I hope that the customer service can assist with what is wrong with my unit. Until then, it gets a two. It did not deliver as expected. On a side note, design and portability seem to be just fine.

All Day Charging

Comments about Nomad 7 Solar Panel:

i've got this as a gift with the speaker as a package and the speaker quit working after a few months and wont turn on nor charge. the solar panal does such a trickle charge with any device i've plugged into it even in direct sunlight. It'll take all day to just get a mostly charged device(cell phones, mp3 players, etc). With being up in alaska we get very long days, that wont be enough for a full charge. LoL anyways kinda disappointed with products with high hopes but oh well. i gave it two starts for effort of a neat design.

Outdoor Activity Charging

Comments about Nomad 7 Solar Panel:

Charged my backup battery charger for my verizon galaxy nexus perfectly. Only drawback was I had to constantly reinsert the USB charging cable if I walked in and out of the sunlight since it didn't like the drop in voltage. On second day at Disneyland, switched to Guide 10 pack which manages change in charging voltage better.

I got complements, like "Cool Backpack". I had to tell them that it was a normal backpack with a Goal Zero clipped to it. Folded up easily when I went on rides with the kids.

SUGGESTION: Cut hole in pocket that holds charger or Goal Zero should make a clear window so you can see the status LED of whatever you are charging.

Will move up to the 13 watt and give the Nomad 7 to my brother who only has a 5 watt ridged panal. Light weight, small footprint, and durability is a bonus.

Emergency Use
Travel

Comments about Nomad 7 Solar Panel:

Great to use with the Switch 8. When charging an iPhone or similar device, disable as many functions as you can, such as bluetooth, wifi, turn on airplane mode, disable vibrations under sound settings, so that it isn't drawing power while charging. With a Switch 8 in the mix, the power pack can store power for you, and when the sun goes behind a cloud, the charging alert will cycle on an iPhone, causing the screen to turn on, the device to vibrate or make a sound. A Switch 8 with a bit of a charge will keep supplying an iPhone with power and you can avoid the wasted power.

A little bigger than a magazine, the Nomad 7 is portable, chainable with other panels, has a pocket to store batteries, a Switch 8, and can hook onto a backpack, tent, etc. It is hard compare it to a Nomad 27 or 13 which work even better, but it is more portable and affordable. Great to have on hand for emergencies as well.

Comments about Nomad 7 Solar Panel:

I bought the Nomad 7 together with the lighthouse lantern this summer. I found that charging the lantern and then using the USB on the lantern to change our iPhone4, iPod, Samsung Wave and Kobo gave a steady stream of power and successfully kept everything charged. We relied on the lantern/panel setup for two weeks without an issue. I did find that the power stream from the panel directly to the phone was not sufficient (the power stream was not steady, expecially on partly cloudy or cloudy days). I highly recommend this setup as a budget way to power a few small items and give you hours of light at night at the same time.

- A:
  This answer depends on the IPhone model. To charge an IPhone 5, simply plug the USB cord into the USB port on the panel. If you need to charge an IPhone 4, you will need to use the optional A/C inverter or the Guide 10. The USB charging port only provides 0.5amps, whereas the IPhone 4 needs 1.0amps to charge.

66 year old wilderness canoeist who has an eye issue. I read most everything on my Kindle Keyboard and also use the Kindle & my iPod for audiobooks.

I'm unsure from the reviews or specs if I need to buy something in addition to the Nomad 7 to charge these two devices. Does the Nomad charge a storage device that in turn is connected to the Kindle/iPod for charging or is the Nomad able to charge the Kindle/iPad directly?

Q:
1. Hey i know this question may have an obvious answer but i need to know for sure, how do you chain nomad 7 panels together, is it with the guide 10 cable with the tiny little port? If not, what ports & cables exactly?

2. Also i've heard that you can chain up to 4 nomad 7's together to charge some of goal0's larger devices is that true? with what cables & ports?

3. finally i have 2 nomad7's one with the charge box on the back & has a larger surface area of cells, the other has the box on the flap & less surface area.
Are these panels significantly different?
Can i chain them together despite this?
What is the panel with the box on the back & net called specifically? is it as weatherproof & where can order more if i want?

Whatever you do don't stop making the nomad with the rear box & net, it performs very well & is very handy!

1 answer
- A:
  From what I understand, the Nomad7 has no "Input" connector, only "out" and so it can only be the "caboose" in a chain. The "Solar Ports" box outputs SHOULD be designed with one way diodes so power can only go OUT. Hopefully a tech will correct me if I am wrong.
  
  I have two Nomad7's. To daisy chain them together and take advantage of more wattage I built an adapter consisting of two male 12volt power points (cigarette lighter plugs) leading to one female power point (cigarette lighter receptacle). The males plug into each Nomad7's 12v female power point receptacles. Just be sure that each male plug is equipped with a fuse and that each fuse is properly rated (12V 10Amp) to protect your Nomad7.

  Not true it absolutely does charge the iPhone 5. I'm typing this response from my iPhone 5 and i just charged the devise at the pool in full sunlight. I got the error message when my towel covered one of the panels . In plugged and re plugged and all was fine for the next 2 hours when my phone was the. Fully charged.

  It does not charge the iPhone 5 because the usb port for the iPhone 5 needs 1.0 amp output and the Nomad 7 is a 0.5 amp output.

  Thanks for contacting Goal Zero! The difference between the two panels is how many watts they are rated at. The Nomad 3.5 is a 3.5 watt solar panel where as the Nomad 7 is a 7 watt solar panel.
