Q: One of the photos shows the panel with trimmed edges. How wide gap around black area should be preserved to keep panel functional?

It isn't recommended to trim the edges due to risk of bending the panel too much and cracking the solar cells. However, if you really need to trim the edges for your particular application, just be sure to leave at least 1/4" gap around the solar cells (black area), but the edges may not be as smooth and clean after cutting. Cutting too close to the solar cells can damage or delaminate them.

Q: Where is this made? Thank you.

Solarpad is designed in the US and made in China. Future versions will have markings indicating the country of origin.

Q: is it possible to combine multiple solarpads to get more amps?

It is not recommended to connect multiple Solarpads together due to voltage drop. However, if your particular application requires tying multiple Solarpads together and voltage drop is ok, then you'll need to tie the cables connecting each Solarpad in parallel with a diode on each end. The diodes prevent electrical current from flowing back in to the cells, but also have a voltage drop across them, which phones don't like. It is possible to have a custom connector before the regulator specifically for chaining multiple Solarpads, but that would increase cost and weight. It's much easier to just have a bigger solar panel for different applications. We are working on larger sizes for more stationary applications.

Q: How fast can it charge a cellphone? Is there a battery with it?

Considering that the panel is facing South to maximize on the East to West direction of the sun, it will depend on the battery capacity of your cellphone. You do the math, 5 watts is equal to 5 volts at 1000 mah. If you have a 2000 mah cellphone battery, it will charge in 2 hours more or less.
