Hi Temp Advice...
This is better made than the other two solar panel brands I own - Big Blue and Solorage.
When charging in high temperatures, cover your device (phone, tablet, power bank, drone battery, whatever) in insulating material like a heavy-duty mailing envelope (cardboard works better than cloth). I've had my devices stop charging at midday with three different solar panel brands - and guess where I live? Florida. At first I suspected the solar panels going bad, and since they're inexpensive enough, I'd buy a different brand. Eventually, though, a notice popped up on my phone - "Charging will continue when the device cools down."
Insulate your device when charging in high temperatures.
Another problem is what I call "backcharge." It's the gradual draining of your device's battery while connected to the solar charger when there's no sunlight. So keep an eye on whether the panels are still in the sunlight or not - which isn't as easy as you might think due to distractions by other things.
