What is the efficiency of this? At only 30W but a fair size, I would say it's under 10%. This market needs a shake up.
5v @ 2.4A = 12 watts
5v @ 3.0A = 15 watts
12 + 15 = ???
Hint:It's NOT 30

Agreed. All said, Anker gear is very well designed and built. New solar tech will trickle down soon. Bare in mind these panels are not going to be at the optimum angle when on your back. They will probably be more efficient at 45 or so degrees when mounted on the ground or other flat surface.
