Solar Kits For Camping and Outdoor Fun

Top 3 Solar Power Kits

Having power for those outdoor adventures are increasing in demand with everyone needing backup power for cell phones, laptops, lights, heaters, etc.  The list goes on what you can power up out there and now with these 3 solar power kits, you'll know which ones to consider.

These solar power kits are high quality and the manufacturer behind these first couple units I mention are personal climbers and adventurers outside of their professional life.  Doesn't that sound great to do business with someone or a company whose owners actually do what they sell?  Well enough about them, let's talk about you and how you can benefit from their products. 

The first unit is called the Escape 150 Expedition Kit.  This unit is very portable and great for cameras, laptops, smart-phones and tablets.  it provides you with 150 watts of power and is easy to handle.  I have personally handled the battery and it is a bit heavy for hiking with.  However the solar panel is very lightweight and what's cool about is that you unfold it and it has a tripod on the back.  Which means you just face it towards the sun throughout the day and you'll receive a high quality charge into your battery pack.   Since this is the Expedition Kit, it includes a solar lantern so then you'll have a lighting solution at the camp site or whenever you find yourself.

The second solar power system is more powerful and it's still from that company who enjoy adventures and outdoor portable power.  It is the Extreme 350 Adventure Kit and it supplies you with over 300 watts of power, a solar panel and an inverter.  The battery pack is deep cycle and lasts easily beyond 3 years and provides is 350 watts.  The solar panel is a 30 watt mono-crystalline panel and you'll have to set it again something because it does not have a tripod built into it.   What its great about this unit also is the plug in play action where you can plug in your regular power plugs into the system and it'll work.  Just make sure you plug-in the inverter into the battery pack.

The next solar system that is available for outdoor adventurers is called the Yeti Solar Generator.  This is from the same manufacturer who is Goalzero but other retailers carry these units like LivEcoFriendly.com as well.  This massive power solar kit is able to provide you with 1250 continuous watts of power and comes with 2x30 watt solar panels.  The battery pack has it all built in from the charging terminals for batteries that need a charge.  To those tablets and heaters and computers that require a power outlet, it's all included into the generator system.  All you need to do is set up the solar panels and direct them as the rays of the Sun move off the solar panel.  In short, make sure you move the solar panels to face the Sun.

Before you purchase add up how much power you require and if you'll really need to run those all the time.  The ones you plan on operating mostly, add up those wattages.  Then you'll be closer to what unit you should consider.  For all tablets and laptops, the Escape 150 Expedition Kit works well, just use it when you're laptop battery starts getting low. Then only charge it up until the laptop battery is full.  Then let the solar power recharge the Escape battery pack.  Hope you enjoy your solar power!
