Let’s face it; camping is just no fun when there’s no power for all our nifty gadgets. It’s better for everyone when there’s power to shine lights, heat up our food, cool our beers, charge our phones, watch a movie or play some music.
Portable solar powered systems allow us to go anywhere and not be without a source of electricity. Camping in a remote area is no problem when you are relying on off- grid solar power for your energy usage. Not only is camping with solar power is incredibly environmentally friendly, it is also quiet and peaceful when you want to have a stress-free camping getaway somewhere relaxing.
Portable Solar Panels
Portable solar panels for camping are available for all camping experiences. All you will need is your portable solar panels, a battery and regulator to use solar power for the appliances you take with you. The most common type of solar panel used for camping would be a thin-film panel. Thin-film panels can be made to be flexible and fold away easily, whereas the mono-crystalline panels are much more fragile and are laminated with glass to protect them.
Solar Panels for Caravans
Even solar panels for caravans are available for those of you who enjoy caravanning holidays! Flexible solar panels need no mounting or frames and can be secured with a strong adhesive. The panels on the roof of the caravan will produce the electrical current and then store the electricity in the battery. The electricity is then ready for use for appliances such as kettles, microwaves, hair dryers and so on.
Just You and a Tent?
If you are not travelling with a large caravan or RV and you are just taking a small tent for the weekend- then solar power is still a brilliant idea for your trip. You can purchase small portable solar powered kits/ folding solar panels to power your appliances or even, take with you some awesome solar powered gadgets to make your camping experience a bit more exciting.
Phone chargers, music speakers, cooking appliances, lanterns and radios are all examples of solar powered gadgets that are available to buy and take on your camping trip. This is all an amazing example of using off-grid solar power and powering our appliances entirely without the network grid.
Solar power is slowly becoming more and more popular amongst homes and businesses and now, campers and holiday makers.
