Solar Panels
Portable Camping Solar Panels
The affordability and availability of remote area power sources used to be out of reach of many aussie campers, and the reliability of systems that generate 12 volt power such as Solar Power and Generators hardly offering campers a source of energy that would work when they needed it most.
Times have certainly changed, and the availability of many camping resources has changed the way that campers are looking at the possibilities of their entire camping setup. With affordable solar power pumping out stacks of juice there is a solar panel out there for just about anyone.
There is more than one supplier out there selling 12v solar panels, but only one solar panel range can offer incredible amounts of power for next to no costs and that is the Adventure Kings Solar Panel range.
Solar power has transformed the possibilities of the entire camping scene over the past couple of years, especially since 4WD Supacentre and Adventure Kings first made camping solar panels affordable for everyday Aussies!
Camping, touring and mobile van setups, can make the most of cost effective 12 volt solar panel system, that are not only silent practically cost free to operate and unlike similar remote area power sources can be packed just about anywhere in the cargo area without fumes or potential fluid leaks, some designs like the solar blanket range, can even be stashed under the seat.
There’s nothing worse than getting to that epic campsite, setting up and then after a short perio of time kicking back and relaxing at camp, you might be stressing out about your AGM Batteries going flat because you have been running your fridge on its coldest setting, blaring lights, cranking music and taking advantage of your 240v inverter flat-out with high demand accessories like hair dryers or even running the tele, watching the footy grand final!. Solution 1) Start your engine and rev it up to 2000-3000RPM for a good hour or two, using a bunch of fuel and potentially gassing out your campsite with exhaust fumes, all so you can get the charge of your AGM battery back up to spec, or there is a second Solution, simply plug in your Adventure Kings 12 volt solar panel and let the sun do all of the hard work!
Its funny to think how you can save money, and the cost of a powered sight with a solar powered system, because campsites often charge you to use their electricity in an attempt to offset their electricity bills. By harnessing the free power of the sun to keep your battery charged and your fridge running ice-cold, you can take advantage of the range of Adventure Kings solar panels. Choose from folding, fixed or blanket-type solar panels, plus heaps of accessories to make the most of your solar panel. All the Adventure Kings solar panels except the 110W Fixed Panel come with everything you need to charge a battery, straight out of the box. Just plug it in, and kick back!
There are many types of solar energy setups you can take advantage of, but you shouldn’t just head out and have the first type of solar panels installed on your vehicle that you stumble across, this all has to do with how solar panels work. In essence a solar panel absorbs sun rays using a science principal called photovoltaics or abbreviated PhotoVoltaic PV or otherwise known as a ‘PV System’, these take solar energy emitted by the sun and convert it them to electrical energy, this isn’t the end of the line, due to the unpredictable and erratic nature of sunshine, it needs to be regulated to provide the most effective output.
Whilst all solar panels essentially work in the same way, they achieve it in different methods offering better or worse conversion efficiencies. Starting with the less efficient polycrystalline panels, these are comprised of many silicone crystals that are aligned with poor grain structure and are much less efficient than the monocrystalline solar cells found in the Adventure Kings range, and are made up of a thin film of silicone which has all of its grains aligned as what is known as a monolithic crystal structure, ensuring it absorbs light in a uniform manner, providing the most effective and efficient solar power system available
Because solar photovoltaic has become one of the most popular renewable energy sources in the world, the previously prohibitive costs have dropped dramatically, and you would be surprised at just how much a set of solar panels cost, and with some of the more simple setups, the system installation is temporary and can be taken with you no matter what the application.
When you need to recharge yourself and your 12V system, look no further than an Adventure Kings Solar charging system.
