Even if it is realistic, solar irradiance is limited by atmospheric attenuation when the sun is low, so you still can't claim sunrise to sunset. And don't forget to account for overcast weather.
Given that most of the solar is on the sides, it would take advantage of sunrise to sunset solar power, right? Assuming you camp on a flat desert or beach :B.
So, about 3 days to charge, not 10.
