FAQ's

Q: Does the Spectre 18W store power?

A: No. The Spectre is a solar panel only—it doesn’t have a built-in battery. It’s designed to charge external devices or power banks. The Spectre 18W was specifically designed to charge Poseidon Pro directly using sunlight.
Title

Q: Why am I only getting one LED light when using the Spectre 18W?


A: This usually depends on your location and how strong the sunlight is. More LED lights mean more solar output—but even one light means the panel is generating power and your device is charging.
Title

Q: How long will it take to charge my device using the Spectre 18W?


A: Charging times vary based on sunlight, cloud cover, and panel placement. 
Here’s what to expect in full sun:

Poseidon Nano: 1–2 hours

Poseidon Pro: 3–5 hours

Phone: 1–3 hours (we recommended charging to a battery for a better experience)

Using the included kickstand and sun meter can significantly improve charging efficiency.

SOLAR BUILT FOR THE BACKCOUNTRY

RUGGED WHERE IT COUNTS

This panel doesn’t need a protective case—it is one. With crush-resistant construction, waterproof materials, and flexible solar cells that won’t crack under pressure, the Spectre is made to thrive in the wild, not just survive it.

RUGGED WHERE IT COUNTS

This panel doesn’t need a protective case—it is one. With crush-resistant construction, waterproof materials, and flexible CIGS cells that won’t crack under pressure, the Spectre is made to thrive in the wild, not just survive it.

WORKS WHERE OTHERS FAIL

Spectre uses high-efficiency solar cells that perform even in less-than-perfect sun. No perfect angle? No problem. You’ll still get a charge.

A SAFETY NET IN YOUR POCKET

Most of us don’t think about backup power—until we wish we had it. Poseidon Nano gives you confidence on the road, in the woods, or halfway through a chaotic day.

PACK-FRIENDLY. MISSION-READY.

Folds flat, weighs just over a pound, and fits easily in or on your gear. It’s solar that travels light

Works Very Well

Have only had this a few days, but I have tested it in various conditions before taking it to the mountains. Under direct Texas sun it works great and will charge my Poseidon Pro in about 4 hours if stationary, if I am moving around it seems to take longer. What really impressed me is that on a heavily overcast day that is bordering on rain it still shows one LED on the scale and charges my power supply, slowly but still charging. Will update after a couple of backcountry trips.

Works as advertised. I don’t understand the meter on the side. I assumed it was a battery pack but I guess not
