What is Portable Solar Power System?

A portable 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. A portable off grid solar power system is designed for a variety of applications ranging from military to adventure to environmental consciousness.

Use a portable solar panel to charge your laptop and mobile phone

Many standard 12V power car adapters for laptops and mobile phones will plug in to the portable solar kits with 12 sockets to allow you to use and recharge all your personal electronics car chargers or you use compact inverters to power small 240 VAC appliances.

Portable Solar Panels from 2 Watts up to 120 Watts There are many sizes to choose from, you can enjoy the convenience of solar power when travelling and camping, so instead of attaching a solar panel to roof of your boat or caravan where it is vulnerable to damage and theft, choose from our range of portable folding solar panels. They all use good quality solar modules and have an attached solar regulator including cables and battery clamps. Whether you need a powerful 120W portable solar panel for the RV or a compact 20w solar panel kit complete with carry bag and regulator you will find the size to meet your needs.

Questions for Solar Panel Use

Using AMPs to Estimate Power Requirements

You should use the current draw in amps to be more accurate. Let's calculate the amp-hours the solar kit will need to generate. Using the same example of the 15 watt light bulb we note that it consumes 1.25 amps so after six hours it will have drained 7.5 Amps from the battery that needs to be replaced every day. If you want a solar panel large enough to top up the battery in 5 hours of sun then it must generate 1.5 amps. Reading the electrical data for a 20w solar panel shows the Maximum amps (Imp) is 1.2amps...Not enough, so our previous calculation using watts gave incorrect data, why? Because the solar panel generates about 18 volts but we are only using about 14 volts to recharge the battery, the rest of the solar power is wasted. Using amps we see that we will need a larger solar panel, in this case a 30 watt BP solar panel with an Imp of 1.8 amps.

What recommendations give when looking for a solar powered battery charger to charge a 12v battery for solar power house supply? It is recommend one of the folding solar panels. They are available in sizes 10, 20, 40, 80 and 120 watts. They have attached solar regulators (except the 10 and 20 watt Powertech kits) and come with battery cables with clamps. The size you select would depend on your battery size and power usage. The 20 watt unit generates out about 1 amp at 14 volts (battery charging voltage) and the large 120 watt unit puts out about 6 amps. You can estimate a solar panel collects about 5 hours of peak sunlight per day, so the 20 watt unit would provide about 1amp x 5 hours = 5 Amp-hours a day, the 120 watt unit would provide about 5 x 6 = 30 Amp-hours a day, (enough to fully charge a 30 amp-hour battery ). Replace that calculation with you actual data to work out how large the solar panel needs to be. Solar panels are rated in watts. For instance, 500 watt solar panels will produce 500 watts of power each hour of peak sunlight. A Solar module manufacturer will produce different solar panels according to customers’ needs in watts.

How to Choose a Portable Solar Panel

Tips for Choosing a Portable Solar Panel Kit

500w solar system is installed in the roof of a house for use. What about a portable solar panel? Portable solar panel kits provide 12 volt power for charging 12 volt batteries. They are made up of two 12V solar panels that are hinged together so they can be folded together when not in use. They have hinged legs attached to the back of the solar panels as well as a small solar regulator with connected power cables and battery clamps. The complete portable solar panel kit is held in a carry bag.

Portable Solar Panels are a Convenient Source of Power when Outdoors

To use the portable solar panels just place them in the sun and connect the cable from the regulator to a 12 volt battery. The solar regulator will ensure the battery is not overcharged. All you need is the sun to produce clean and free solar energy.

Portable Solar Panels from 2 Watts up to 120 Watts

There are many sizes to choose from, you can enjoy the convenience of solar power when travelling and camping, so instead of attaching a solar panel to roof of your boat or caravan where it is vulnerable to damage and theft, choose from our range of portable folding solar panels. They all use good quality solar modules and have an attached solar regulator including cables and battery clamps. Whether you need a powerful 120W portable solar panel for the RV or a compact 20w solar panel kit complete with carry bag and regulator you will find the size to meet your needs.

How to Choose the Right Size Portable Solar Panel: To choose the right size portable solar panel for your needs you need to know how much power your devices will consume. To work that out we use either the total power consumption in watts or the current draw in amps.
