Don't you mean a pair of 2.5V panels?

1)USB is 5V
2)It appears you wired them in series (black wire between) without a charge controller. Did I obsevve incorrectly? I now see the attachment to the USB wires has them in parallel

3) Great job

Aliexpress had a 5V 5W folding charger (almost the same current as a standard Kindle charger) for a fast charge, but it is a bit larger than the device
