Solar Panels for Camping

Enjoy camping? Hate shattering the peace and quiet and scaring local fauna with a generator? Clean and silent solar power is a great way to add a little comfort to your camping experience while being kind to the environment. You can easily make a camping solar energy system yourself, or take advantage of portable solar panel products on the market specifically targeted towards camping applications.

What is Portable Solar Power System?

A portable off grid solar power system is a sophisticated combination of components and raw materials that, when integrated into a system will produce electricity and store energy from sunlight. Each complete system consists of a basic set of components, namely a solar panel, solar charge controller, battery, wiring, a carrying case or pack, and sources for 12-volt DC and/or 120-volt AC power, all of which are chosen to match each other functionally. The solar charge controller is chosen to match and optimize the performance of the solar panel and the battery. The goal of each system is to provide power for electronic devices in the absence of the grid.

Do It Yourself Camping Solar Panels

The camping rig is powered by 140w solar panel perform well while camping in the sometimes freezing and often scorching conditions of the Australian outback and are one of the most economical solar panels available. The cabling from the solar panel leads to a Morningstar solar regulator which is connected to a 100 amp Haze Gel deep cycle battery.

The collapsible frame weighs less than 2 kilos and was made from 1 meter lengths of angle aluminum which is available pre-cut from most large hardware stores. A couple of hinges were added for where the solar panel attaches to the frame, some chain with carabineer clips attached to provide stability and easily adjustable angles and a few screws and bolts to put the whole thing together. To make such a frame costs under $60 and is quite stable even under quite windy conditions.
