- Sustainability:maintaining ecological balance: exploiting natural resources without destroying the ecological balance of an area.
- Sunlight: also called sunshine, solar radiation that is visible at the Earth’s surface. The amount of sunlight is dependent on the extent of the daytime cloud cover. Some places on the Earth receive more than 4,000 hours per year of sunlight (more than 90 percent of the maximum possible), as in the Sahara; others receive less than 2,000 hours, as in regions of frequent storminess, such as Scotland and Iceland. Over much of the middle-latitude region of the world, the amount of sunlight varies regularly as the day progresses, owing to greater cloud cover in the early morning and during the late afternoon.
Solar energy is renewable, environmentally friendly and, by itself, free. The one drawback of course is that it requires modern technology to convert the sun’s energy into something we can use, and the upside is that no fossil fuels are needed to create a sustainable source of electricity when it comes to solar power.
Going off the grid, growing your own food, recycling, up-cycling, re-purposing, alternate energy, going green, coop gardens, buying local, farmer's markets, water collecting, and so much more is starting to finally take a hold of our cities, towns and communities, and right in the middle of all that is portable solar power! The idea of using the power of the sun to create a sustainable source for electricity leaves me awe struck every time. Just the thought of how far we have come and far we can go with creating an affordable, viable way of lighting our homes & schools, charging our technology & cars and so much more endless possibilities with free energy from sunlight should be exciting to everyone.
So the bottom line to get started is this: We need solar panels to harness the power of the sun, which brings into light the different types of portable solar options you have to choose from. A lot of the misconception is that solar panels are these huge cumbersome things that go on your roof top only, not the case! All you need to do is start with portable personal solar charging kits, so light they fit in your backpack, motorcycle tail-bag, panniers or bike basket. Starting small is a simple step in the right direction, outfitting yourself with a portable solar charger is great for things like your smart phone, MP3 player, GPS, tablets, photography camera batteries, laptops etc. You can purchase all different sizes that will charge your phone to a fridge.
Brands such as PowerFilm, and Global Solar make sizes that weigh less than 1 Lb. and can fold up into your backpack. Solarland and Wagan make larger ones that can sit outside your tent, trailer, cabin or house and light your camp lights, charge your GPS, phone, and give you some tunes or your kindle for a little light reading.
Solarland pictured above and Global Solar on the tents are 2 ways of setting up your larger solar sized options.
This is an example of a PowerFilm in use on a camping trip to charge up the phone while having coffee. It folds up to about the size a magazine.
