Portable solar panels have steadily grown in popularity as more business and homeowners search for ways to become energy efficient. These panels are widely preferred because they are lightweight and easy to carry. Versatile and highly effective, they can be used to charge a wide variety of small battery powered devices. Electronic devices powered by alkaline, lithium, nickle cadmium (NiCAD), or nickle-metal hydride cells (NiMH) are easily charged with these convenient panels often carried by hikers, campers, and travelers. The folding panels are designed to fit in small bags or backpacks. There are also models for large recreation vehicles.
To meet the high consumer demands for green energy products, responsible battery manufacturers and energy companies offer portable solar panels ranging from six, to sixty two watts. Using natural resources to charge your cell phone or laptop battery is the ideal solution when you are spending the day outdoors. Your battery operated items will be charged with energy from the sun in a quiet, quick, and efficient manner. Quality made panels are weather proof, resists Ultra Violet rays, will supply continuous power during cloudy weather, and folds neatly for storage when they are not being used.
Portable solar panels are designed in an array of styles for the home, car, and personal use. There are solar messenger bags, backpacks, briefcases, and flexible solar panel film. Your electronic devices are directly connected to the solar powered rechargeable battery. Charge time will vary depending on weather conditions (sunny or overcast), the design of the solar panel, and the type of device that you are charging. Resilient and durable, these portable solutions for solar power are manufactured with the same high quality standards as traditional sized solar panels.
There are complete kits that include portable solar panels, power pack, and a solar charger. Other components include cables, alligator clips, 12 Volt regulator, and a supportive stand. These fold-able solar panel kits are available in lightweight sizes for backpackers and hikers, and there are larger versions for boats, campers, or motor homes.
