Mobile solar power made easy: how to get electricity on the go

These days, solar power is not exclusive to panels installed on structures like homes and businesses. There are many portable solutions available on the modern market, allowing for the benefits to extend across our everyday tasks.

Did you know that you can use this clean energy source to fuel your daily errands? How many of these could you make the switch to?

Stay connected with solar mobile charging devices

There are many activities where you are away from the beaten track and enjoying time on your own where your mobile device could run out of charge on you. Hiking, bushwalking, exploring – whatever recreational activity you are partaking in – there is always the element of risk and you want to know that you have power to your device to ensure you can be located in an emergency situation.

These days, many workers operate in remote locations, where mains power might not be available. Having a reliable charging solution is vital for safe operations in these settings. Luckily, some devices can keep you connecting to an electricity source when you need it most: 

BigBlue 5V 28W Solar Charger: A foldable device that can be used to house and protect your smartphone or tablet when you are on the go. You can charge it when you are stationary. It includes a range of extra features, including smart technology to detect the device, plugging in, and fast charge capabilities. It is also water-resistant, highly portable and lightweight.

ENEGON Portable Outdoor Solar Panel Power Bank: This nifty gadget carries enough charge to be able to bring your iPhone back to full power up to 10 times over. For Android, that equates to 8.6 full charges. It also includes a powerful LED light for the night, can replenish up to three devices simultaneously, and its rugged design means that it is dustproof, shockproof and IP65 waterproof.

Looking for more power? Check out solar generators

Suppose you are heading away from mains power for several days. In that case, whether it is for camping, fishing, work or any other activity, you need to know that you access reliable electricity, even if there are no grid-connected outlets available. There are portable solar generator solutions available like the AIMTOM Portable Solar Generator, which is just 1.5kg and can be easily stored and carried by hand.

You can’t just carry a diesel generator around with you, let alone the enormous tanks of fuel required to power them. This lightweight solution is perfect for energy on the go for all situations. The solar panels can also be folded up and easily transported. You can have all of the creature comforts of home, no matter where you are – all the while knowing you are backed with electricity if an emergency strikes.
