This is one of the coolest pieces of gear I’ve tested in a long time. The PowerFilm LightSaver Max is more than just a solar panel — it’s a solar generator in a roll-up tube that can charge itself, power your rig, and fit inside your backpack.
In this video, I put it through a real-world torture test: running my Icom IC-705 on 10 watts FT8 for over 4 hours straight. No wall power, no gas — just pure sunlight stored in this portable battery.
Whether you’re into POTA, emergency comms, or off-grid ops, this setup proves solar QRP can be both simple and reliable.
