Thanks Suyash, I really appreciate your help.
I will ask there

Hi Andrea,

There are a lot of variables here and it is out of scope of the Particle discussion. Here are a couple of places to look for more information:

The output is 5.2v and 0,7/0,8A.
I attach a lipo 3.7v 2.4A battery and a pcb usb.
Everything seems working fine when I’m trying to chage a standard smartphone and after few hours the phone is full, only the battery is lasting much less compared with wall charger (50%).
Do you know if could be related to the low voltage of the panel, the isolation of wires, or the quality of the pcb (consider I have tried with several ready-made pcb with same results) or it is normal the charge quality is such worst when using 3.7v battery?
Thanks in advance for your help
