I have no doubt, as I already said, that the adapter can provide 1000mA at 5V. However 1000mA (1A) at 5V is 5W. How can you get that 5W from a 1.8W solar panel? What happens when a device tries to pull 1000mA (or 900mA or even only 500mA) from the adapter and the panel can only provide it with 1.8W?

I don't think I'm ignoring it, but I apologise that I might be ignorant of it. Please explain it to me or point me to somewhere with a explanation of this effect.
