Total teardown of a folding solar panel

These things are all over eBay with very misleading specifications.   This one was sold as a 10W unit, but struggled to muster 2.5W when pointed directly at the sun at noon on a scorching summer day.

The bits could be useful though.

Could it be the buck regulator, and not the solar cells, that is the weak point? Meaning, how much juice can the solar cells deliver on their own.
