Sun-heated plastic arch.

I'm homeless so when I use the product you know I'm using the product in extremely difficult conditions. The product is small in size, easy to carry, and feels very comfortable in the hand. If I had to hide it in a backpack and walk, it would be entirely possible. The panels are crystalline and appear to be quite solid, I threw the panels on the floor a little to get the angle right and they held up fairly well, but I had some difficulties as the panels wobbled so much. I was able to use the panels at 70% the other day and got the corresponding full charge on my phone. However, the plates are bent. You can imagine my disappointment when I tried to lift the panels and put them into a tactically folded position, they wouldn't close. To my horror, the upper part was also badly deformed. What cannot collapse is basically useless for the homeless. I'll try to bake and stack it in the sun tomorrow while it's warm. To be honest I let it bake in the California sun on dry grass for over 8 hours but to my credit the purpose of the product is to sit in the sun so yeah. edit: it just had to be tightened, i was going to return the thing for 2/10, but if i talk it over and tie it with a rope, it folds up great! Still a great product to have in my homeless kit.
