Portable Solar Chargers: Light Modules for Heavy User
Portable solar chargers are getting lighter and better. And the choices are expanding.
One of the most popular purchases at SolarTown are portable solar modules. When you just have to have access to your cell phone, then there are various alternatives for portable solar chargers that you can purchase at SolarTown.
In SolarTown’s store under our solar bags, you can get a solar backpack for small devices. Most of the solar bags that we carry max out at about 15 watts. For most users with a cell phone or a tablet, then you should be able to find a solar bag to provide power.
What if you need more power on the go? You are camping, or backpacking. Or what if emergency services and rescue services need to power up a computer or other equipment when there is an emergency such as a wildfire? You are not going to find a power outlet anywhere close.
We now are carrying the P3 and Sunlinq portable solar chargers, which you can find in our section on portable solar modules. These portable solar chargers provide a lot more power than the solar bags. The largest we now have is 124 watts, which can provide a lot of essential power. These solar chargers can provide power for GPS devices, satellite terminals, laser rangefinders, laptop computers and other devices that require much more power than just a cell phone. And the largest portable solar charger weighs just 6.1 pounds.
We are not recommending that you spend your time cruising the Internet when you should be looking at the stars. But for power for some of your essential equipment, and particularly for emergency and rescue workers and others who need a lot of power, these portable solar chargers are a great choice.
