Last time I bought a panel from Lidl, it worked only on very sunny day. Very Strange.

Inspection revealed it had two 6 Volt 10 Watt panels in parallel and then 12V to 5V USB-converter.

When panels were reconnected in series it was quite OK.

What do you mean? Do you mean small solar panel for smartphones? Because the panels in the article are over a square meter big. Mine make 200-400 watts on sunny days
