MUST HAVE SOLAR POWER PRODUCTS FOR CAMPER AND OUTDOORS

The solar energy products are an ecological and accessible alternative for travelers and adventurers who seek comfort, balance and efficiency on a daily basis. Let's see how photovoltaic energy works and what are its benefits.

What is photovoltaic energy

Photovoltaic or solar energy is a type of renewable energy that is obtained from the sun's electromagnetic radiation and is subsequently transformed into electricity. For this, both solar panels are used, where energy transformation is carried out, and batteries, where energy is stored throughout the day to be used later.

How do solar energy products work?

Products that use solar energy for their operation, such as a portable solar generator, are devices that store energy in their batteries from the sun's radiation. For this reason, in most cases, it is necessary to have a portable solar panel to enable the operation of the system.

However, one of the first steps before choosing any of the solar energy products that can be found on the market, you will need to know the consumption that you will make of it. For example, in the case of electric generators, this detail is essential to know how many devices you can connect at the same time and for how many hours .

When it comes to comfort and efficiency while outdoors, there are a few must-have components for having power for the most part.

Solar panel kit

Portable solar panels receive solar radiation during the day and convert it into energy, so that it is the excess energy that is stored in the battery to be used during the night or the days where there is no sun.

A solar panel kit is the most convenient option if you plan to use a generator during your trips or excursions. And it is that in addition to being ecological, this alternative is usually easy to transport and gives you a lot of independence.

Batteries

Solar batteries are another of the essential components to enjoy solar energy wherever you go, as this product ensures the use of energy on cloudy days or in the most unexpected places. To do this, the battery is responsible for accumulating energy and supplying a current intensity greater than that received by the solar panel.

Solar batteries consist of one or more electrochemical cells, each composed of a positive and a negative electrode, as well as electrolytes that allow ions to move between the two electrodes. In this way, the transformation of chemical energy into electricity is achieved.

A detail to take into account when choosing the battery is to consider the time it takes to discharge, since the energy that the solar battery can generate is proportional to the discharge time.

Among the types of solar batteries that are most frequently used are:

  • Monoblock batteries (monoblock batteries):they are the most economical batteries on the market because they are used in low or medium consumption installations.

  • Stationary batteries:although the cost of stationary batteries is higher than monobloc batteries, so is their power. In this way, stationary batteries are indicated for installations with medium and high consumption.

  • Lithium batteries: both their cost and their capacity are higher, they require very little maintenance and their life cycle is very long. Currently there is a great demand for them.

Solar Portable Generator

A portable solar generator is a device that allows you to enjoy power in any situation. It is undoubtedly one of the great essentials for traveling in a campervan. Additionally, these solar powered products require little knowledge and offer multiple plugs. Power stations, for example, allow recharging the laptop and connecting the television or refrigerator.

When you want to get a new generator or self-consumption solar kit, we recommend you take into account such important characteristics as the battery capacity, the power of the inverter and the weight and dimensions of the generator.

Advantages of solar energy products

What are the main benefits of using solar energy throughout the day?

  • Energy independence:self-sufficiency is one of the main advantages of using solar energy products. Since most of the energy we consume is reduced to the hours of least light and the panels require the sun's rays, the use of the electrical network will be reduced to very specific situations.

  • Savings: if you travel in a camper and you usually use the electricity network from a designated space to charge your mobile phone and computer, you will save on electricity rental costs.

  • Reserve:you can use the electricity that accumulates during the day when you need it, regardless of where you are.

  • Renewable energy: by coming from a natural and inexhaustible source, it reduces the emission of greenhouse gases and helps prevent diseases related to pollution.

As we have seen, choosing solar energy products not only contributes to creating a more sustainable environment, but also provides important advantages for those who opt for them, don't you think?
