I am looking to purchase a solar panel(s) to charge my phone while traveling.
Any suggestions? and how many watts will the iPhone 6 plus need to charge? I see a wide range of different outputs in solar panels.
I found out quite a bit after a couple days of research.
I purchased a 14W Poweradd Solar Panel, and a Poweradd Pilot S 12000 mAh Battery Power Pack for it to charge off of.
Solar Panel CAN charge the iPhone 6 Plus directly with the plug-in, but it will take 5 -6 hours or longer, depending.
However, plugging in the solar panels to the battery pack, charge it in a little less time than 6 hours, BUT you can charge your iPhone 6 Plus up to 5 times and the power in the battery pack lasts for several months if not used. Great purchase for any traveler!
Nedr time ask your question properly. With a name like Travelling Kangaroo I presumed you were travelling Australia instead of being a rude dude, and recommends the standard van set up. So I don't know what it is you want. Next time ask your question with some detail. 😝Y

If it really supplies 14 watts and an output voltage of 5 volts (meaning a current of 2.8 amps) it should charge the phone directly in about 2.5 hours. The phone can't use 2.8 amps, however, it can only use 1.5 amps. If the battery power pack can use the full 2.8 amps then it will be faster to use it in the long run. I really didn't know there were solar panels capable of supplying 14 watts in a portable size. I've got to look into this. Thanks!
120W minimum, attached to a deep cycle battery and connected to a 12v input.

5volts
Well someone doesn't like to be very helpful. 😝
