I also will add extras such as integrated led flood lamps a high current port for attaching jumper cables and some others.
Diy portable solar panels.
The only limitation is that it energy produced is dependent on the amount of sunlight that is received.
Solar energy is completely free and produces no pollutants.
Right after that podcast i decided to build my own diy portable solar generator.
This solar panel stand easily holds up to five or six 100 watt solar panels.
The solar generator i am going to show you how to build will cost half the price include a 2 000 watt 4 000 watt peak ac inverter a 100w solar panel a high quality true deep cycle agm battery.
With dual usb ports it s easy enough to share with a friend and charge two devices simultaneously.
It normally costs over 500 but i figured out a way to easily put one together f.
With an ultra portable design the dizaul 5000mah portable solar power bank is the ideal solution for keeping your smartphone charged.
But solar panels are bulky and expensive.
The portable solar panels can be coupled with any of goal zero s power packs such as the yeti 150 yeti 400 or the venture 30.
The goal zero nomad 20 is an outstanding portable solar kit with a built in junction box and a smart charging chip that enables you to charge your electronics with solar power through usb ports.
My plans are to build a solar generator that will run my well pump in a grid down event and while this generator does not have the power to continually run it i have set it up to be able.
In a recent podcast i did with ken from the prepper podcast we talked about grid down scenarios and what we can do about them.
Unless you re one of the stubborn idiots who think that in a teotwawki the end of the world as we know it situation there won t be any electronics that survive so there s no point in ever coming up with a viable.
This project uses a slim ultra efficient solar panel making the system portable cheap and highly effective.
These smaller diy projects can be a great way to learn about pv.
