China is selling solar that produces ONLY HALF what the label says: but our "government" SEC and BBB won't touch them.

google it you'll see. $40 - $150 china panels, reviewed by honest reviewers (tested in front of your face live) produce only 1/2 what they are advertised to produce.
reviewers are stupid though. they don't realize it's "not worth hard cash" to keep their cell phone active "in the park". in the park? how dare you take that contraption to the park it's a nature reserve!! stupid millenials.

our government also refused to sue microsoft and asian CRT monitors - but finally a consumer group shoved the lawsuit on CRT so far down the feds throat the lawsuit went through
the result: en masse class action lawyers kept all the money and kept the winnings a secret from the taxpayer. monitor makers release measurement diagonally (STILL A LIE - and often the diagonal included space on the screen that was never active)
you can still buy them new - they pump up to the amount a modern 15 Amp sump pump pumps (more than needed for water consumption - 3,300 gph). they are not cheap but neither is solar. you can buy just the blade and build the tower yourself.

if you thought the flourecent bulb oscillated the magnet and returned the energy your all wrong. it works with incadescent bulbs too! so the video shows (btw, it happens to be made in asia - the video and the products)
THOSE "KIDDIE EXPERIMENTS" above can certainly permanently damage your android (or God forbid Apple) internal charger electronics - the magnet can easily poke holes right through the chip. You'd soon find (not immediately) you needed a battery (that's funny it's not that old) and that the new battery didn't fix it - and HAVE TO BUY A NEW IPHONE.

(electronic meters are POOR at measuring voltage spikes (they show averages infact), and the analog ones aren't "good enough" for this application either - they react too slow)

more "phone breaking pranks"
in this case - these kids loved their phone until their teacher assigned homework due on them. suddenly they began watching "phone destruction" youtube videos instead of doing their homework!

(far right) this one requires purchase (they all do - but this one says it protects you). that's a euorpean charger: if you buy it to "try it": your a fool fooled by corrupt people

(there are many of these and they have the "air of legitimacy" (i can assure you however that there is tons of fraud in the "electronics schematics world" though - and 99% is asian parts required - allot of them)

Input: AC 100-240 V, 50-60 Hz, 100 mA. Output: DC 5.0 V, 350 mA.
(this means your phone is best used with DC, not fluctating AC. DC costs a little more - which assures you if all the chargers are DC then DC is "expected", not spikes from home made "rotating junk" even before spikes are considered)

i think if you put these panels in a space ship and fly them just outside the corona of the sun they actually produce the watts they advertize on the label

the units have a host of other problems
* damage by weather
* insane costs not show to people until after they begin buying
* cost of hooking to electrical company
* the fact the equipment is susceptible to lighting
* the fact the equipment often can't "add back to the grid" as advertised without allot of extra purchases
* ie, if you want "energy for power outages" you'd be better of with an natural gas generator not solar. but if your solar ain't 100% bought and WORKING you can't use it for "normal power"
