The exact 4WD solar panel that you need for camping or travelling is going to rely on several different things. The first is where you 'll be travelling and what time of year it is. On average Australia gets about seven hours of good sunlight that is suitable for charging solar panels. Most solar panels are measured in the number of watts they can produce in an hour, so to work out how much power they can generate you 'll take their rated wattage and multiply it by the number of hours they 'll spend out in the sun. So, on an average day, you can reasonably expect a portable 12v solar panel rated for 200W to produce 1400 watts of power.
Ideally, this will be used to charge an appropriate lithium battery, and then you 'll have access to that power later in the day, or at any time you need it. Next is figuring out which 4WD solar panel is best for you. To discover this, you 'll need to do some calculations. Figure what you're planning on running and for how long and then add up all the watts those items will require. Some equipment might be measured in Ah, for those you'll need to convert it to watts. After you have the calculations completed, it 's best to add at least an additional twenty-five per cent to that total. This will help protect you against any issues that may affect solar power charging, such as inclement weather. As with all new camping equipment it is best to give it a test run in a controlled situation, we 'd recommend using it in a place where you have access to grid power. This will make sure that everything is working smoothly, and saves you from sorting it out on the fly.
How can 4WD solar panels be used in camping?
The best use for a 4WD solar panel while camping is for charging lithium batteries which can supply you with power after the sun has gone down. They can also be used to charge some products that can handle taking direct current. When you go camping one of the things that people miss the most is having access to many of the creature comforts that we use every day. Your exact power needs will be reliant on what items you wish to power. For larger campsites, you may need several batteries supported by the appropriate 4WD solar panel. If you need to charge up your phone or laptop, you may need to use a voltage converter between the solar panel and your equipment so you don 't overload them, but as the energy is free and available it can be a good option when you're keeping off the grid.
The way that you choose to enjoy the great outdoors is totally up to you and at Outbax we are happy to supply you with the right equipment so you can spend time being content and not worrying about the small things; like how you're going to charge your phone!
