    Yes they are, but they are specifically not what you want or need when going camping. These only work when plugged into an active grid connection, to offset your power bill at home on sunny days.

    For camping, you want a battery box that solar panels will plug in to. Often sold as “solar generator” from brands like Bluetti and Jackery.
