Can the Solar-Boost charge my smartphone directly from solar?
Short answer: Sometimes
Long answer: It depends on the strength of the sunlight and your phone’s Minimum Charging Current, or MCC. The MCC is the lowest amount of electrical power required to start the charging process for a phone or any other USB-powered device.
Different phones and devices will have a different MCC. The higher the MCC, the sunnier it needs to be for the Solar-Boost to start charging and storing power in the phone or device.
For instance, tablets and some smartphones have a very high MCC meaning that it needs to be a sunny day in direct sunlight to recharge from the Solar-Boost. On the other hand, most mobile power banks and battery packs have a low MCC, so even on a cloudy day or in indirect sunlight, power can be stored from the Solar-Boost.
Therefore, it is generally the most efficient to use a power bank as an intermediate power store between the Solar-Boost and a smartphone.
