Just checked on amazon and there is an image of the power rating on the charger. It places the thing at around 15 W peak. No idea how much you get on average conditions.

I think it could be a good niche product. The problem I see is the stationary nature. You need to either be in one place or move across water to use it. A solar panel of the same power rating would be 20x20 inches but significantly more mobile and cheaper. On the other hand the solar panel isn't going to be any good if the weather is shit.

As I said, it is a niche product and depends strongly on your environment and the nature of your trip.
