Backup power for camping and backpacking

It can be frustrating when a digital camera runs out of battery on a trip, but what if all forms of communication die in an emergency situation? The consequences are far more serious. But by taking precautions with solar power, this dangerous scenario can be resolved.

Portable solar backup power can provide for the individual or a whole camp.

For the beginner, there is the Escape Scout Starter Kit. This kit provides 150 Watt hours of storage capacity and comes with an 80-Watt inverter. The 80-Watt inverter protects your electronic devices that run off Alternating Current (AC) from the Direct Current (DC) that is absorbed by the suns rays. The collected solar energy can be distributed three ways: USB, 12V DC, and AC. Having these three options means that most electronic equipment can be powered, including smart phones.

The ultimate in portability is the Voltaic Solar Backpack . With the Voltaic Solar Backpack you can generate power as youhike, and its total weight of3.5 lbs, including the battery that will store the solar power, doesn’t hold you back on your climb. The backpack includes adaptor plugs in universal sizes,making sure you have the right adaptor for your electronic device.

For larger expeditions, the Extreme Base Camp Kit is power packed with solar energy. Four 30-watt highly efficient mono-crystalline panels in conjunction with a Ranger universal inverter provide up to 400 watts of continuous power. This kit saves on the unnecessary weight caused by hauling large batteries on an already grueling expedition.
