Portable Solar Power – Carrying Your Own Power With You


By Tony Hartmann


For those who are bitten by the travel bug, being without power can be pretty inconvenient, not to mention unnerving. There are many times when you will need light, or power for your cell phone, or to start your laptop – and not having it can get on your nerves. What can be the alternatives in this scenario?

Portable Solar Power Can Provide All The Answers

The dependency of man on electricity has in many ways been a negative impact on the quality of life. It is true that electricity is the greatest invention of all times; however, the fact that it cannot be everywhere you would want it to be makes it pretty painful at times.

The idea of portable solar power came from the flop of large scale applicability of solar energy. When it was accepted that under the present circumstance mass-solar electrification cannot be effected, the idea turned to micro levels. The portable solar power solution came out of this reverse thinking.

Being transportable, the portable solar power

can be used while camping, while trekking, while lost in unexplained power failures and so on. It is wonderful to have such a backup – but the icing on the cake is that the portable solar power comes almost free of cost; “almost” because you will need to build it first – which will be all the cost involved. Its functioning would not require anything else other than the sun rays.

The amount of electricity provided is based on the size and capacity of the portable device. You will find a great variety of portable solar power in the market. Some of the best come as waterproof devices; while other can be stitched in the walls in a back-pack. Most of them are light and compact (so they would be easy to carry), while some are even foldable to a hand-hold size.

The devices would be able to provide you with sufficient power wherever you go. The greatest plus-point of this technical miracle is that you can create your own electricity anywhere in the world you are – and that is a great feeling! Now, you can travel non-stop without having to worry about torch batteries, watch, laptop, digital camera, cell phone and so on.

The portable solar power will give you all the required the energy for any type of eventuality. Because it is light and transportable, this could also mean a world of difference to all those who worked hard in remote villages doing development work.
