Portable solar energy power plants

Portable solar power plants may seem, for some, like a dream. They can think of many places where portable solar would be useful, as the RV they love take camping or boat they use for long time fishing. However, they cannot imagine that Central portable solar power actually exist.

Central portable solar energy have many practical uses, which we discuss later, but what is the portable solar energy?

Description of Portable solar power

Portable solar energy is energy from the Sun, the generator of size and shape which can be moved easily from one place to another.

More portable solar energy units using photovoltaic panels (PV) one way or another. Some are incredibly small and can be carried in a Pocket, while others must be moved on a flat-bed trailer or truck.

Examples of Portable solar power

You can already use portable solar power without realizing. Here are examples of different sizes and styles of portable solar power.

1. Pocket calculators use portable solar years. Sun exposure calculator, and it stores solar energy for use. You can then run this solar energy in a field or a mountain trail.

2 Garden of lights, or around a swimming pool lights now use portable solar power. If you want to reorganize your lights, or if you decide to wear one as a flashlight, portable solar energy goes with you.

3. A unit of energy versatile portable solar is the solar panel folding which may be transported in a case, the size of your day planner. Where you take not, you can open the control panel to load the battery of your cell phone, GPS or other similar "gadget" you carry.

4. Products "powerfilm" are thin photovoltaic panels - other examples of portable solar power. These products can be easily transported to charge almost all Lithium, NiCad, or NiMH batteries. You can recharge the batteries for the boom to the beach areas or while they camped. You can reload your digital camera or camcorder on a trek. As long as you have the Sun, you have the portable solar energy.

5. Photovoltaic flexible, robust and durable, provide portable solar energy for hikers and campers. This portable solar energy can wound like a sleeping bag and then configure any where. You can release the, step on it, moisten it while the crossing of a stream - and it will still give you power.

6. Large portable solar power plants can consist of one or more photovoltaic panels (photovoltaic panels), simple wiring for the making of entry and a battery - sometimes referred to as a power supply. A unit of portable solar power commercially produced as it may also include a small fluorescent light and a connection to your car cigarette lighter plug.

Examples of innovative Portable solar power

Portable solar power may, as we said, carried with you. It can provide electrical power when travelling in a remote village in third world affairs. It can provide military units with the necessary electrical energy while they are on the move. It can feed a small heater in a winter camping tent, or provide a light read for the campers. It is useful and practical.

The increase in our demand for this value and convenience, portable solar power becomes more innovative. Portable solar energy is added to the clothing and backpacks. It is added to handbags. You never worry of cell phones, laptops or other electronic devices will again dead. Portable solar power is yours to use, anywhere, free of charge.

Did you know that on these products? Some are experimental, but other area on the market.

1. If you want energy solar portable "lady-like", you can choose the "Power Purse" as a lovely accessory. This award is more than an accessory, however. It can power small electronic devices. Designed by Joe Hynek in handbag competition, this small black bag is covered with laminated panels solar portable. It has a short plastic handle and can easily be transported anywhere. Imagine the possibilities.

2 But a handbag is not always appropriate. If you are stuck in the middle of nowhere, in a field, you may be pleased to have the "Juice Bag" backpack on your shoulders. Juice bag is a backpack of portable solar patented worldwide. Flexible ballistic nylon solar panels make it lighter than the solar bags with solar panels from rigid glass. Take off your juice bag when you need to reload items such as cameras, cell phones or GPS units. It generates electricity in sunlight direct and indirect.

3 Portable solar is also available in a comfortable jacket with multiple pockets. Hikers, military and travellers can fill the pockets with cell phone, GPS, laptop, camera and other electronic devices. Then drag the portable solar panel of 3 ounces in a special holder on the back of the jacket, and you can produce energy for your electronic devices.

Portable solar power stations to use these ideas and more. They can be large enough to produce enough electrical energy to a small village, or small enough to be transported by a child. What is portable solar is definitively "on the go" in many places and in many respects.

Solar chargers are becoming very popular but are still new technology to most users. So what should you look for?

John discusses the topic in general and gives a few tips to ensure you get the best out of your solar power battery load.

Portable solar chargers are appearing in many different forms.

They range from mobile phone-sized units with a single solar panel and a socket to accept the load cable to large portable folding solar panels that close like a notebook.

Some mobile phones manufacturers are already playing around with the idea of integrating a solar panel into the back panel of a mobile phone to enable solar recharging in addition to the usual load, but realistically that will probably not be economically justifiable because mobile phones are consumables that eventually become obsolete or just out of fashion. It creates another component to dispose of. We already have considerable environmental damage caused by irresponsible dumping of old electronics and should not add to that tally.

That idea is doomed to the same fate as the TV / VCR (who even remembers those?) Far better to have a separate solar cell that has universal charging capabilities. Then the the solar load can be used to support several personal devices. Purpose, who knows, I might be wrong! We may soon see notebooks and PDA's with built-in solar panels too!

Getting back to our main topic; Chargers that use the sun to generate electricity that is stored in a battery, to be used when required, make a very useful and environmentally friendly alternative to AC powered chargers. You can use them when you are camping for example, no need for long extension chords or noisy generators!

Some solar chargers and portable solar panels can be connected directly to a device that requires power, for instance the Soldius solar chargers have inbuilt voltage regulators with MPPT (maximum power point tracking) electronics to charge a mobile phone more efficiently. It is an elegant portable solar load with just the one socket to accept the charging cable and a selection of adapter tips that connect to a mobile phone or other personal device.

The Soldius is a small and compact unit purpose its lack of an internal storage battery means it can't store power for later use as the other solar chargers can, so it is actually more accurately a mini solar power generator with an integrated voltage regulator. True environmentalists see this as a more because batteries are one of the worst offenders of environmental contamination by heavy metals. In fact the eco advocates would be pleased to hear that most solar chargers use eco friendly Li - Ion batteries. Lithium Ion cells are more eco friendly because they do not use heavy metals.

We should differentiate between solar chargers and portable solar panels.

A solar load is a single unit able to store solar power for later use because It has internal batteries for storing the charge. Portable solar panels are units made up of one or more solar panels and sometimes an attached solar regulator like the the folding solar panels from Ecopia.

A useful feature of most solar chargers is the ability to charge its internal battery using other means than solar power such as USB port power from a computer or 12 volt power from a vehicle's accessories power socket if immediate solar power is not available. The green advocates might see this as a sell out to the 'evil brown energy' industry, but this need not be so, you might be running your laptop on solar power and a vehicle's battery is recharged while driving and normally has excess power to spare.

Not all solar battery chargers are capable of fully charging your mobile phone.

Why? because they are using the solar load battery to recharge another battery and these solar batteries are usually not big enough to provide a complete recharge.

A typical solar battery has a capacity of 1000mAh and a typical mobile phone battery is 750mAh.

Now, you might think a 1000mAh battery should fully recharge a 750mAh battery, after all its 25% larger.

Not so. As the mobile phone battery is recharged it builds up load internal resistance and the voltage of the solar battery just can't overcome this internal resistance once the phone battery has reached a certain level of support.

Voltage (V) is electrical pressure equal to current flow (I) multiplied by resistance (R) V = IR

. The internal resistance of the solar load battery decreases as its load decreases and therefore its voltage decreases, but the opposite is occurring in the phone battery, as it is being charged up its internal resistance is increasing to the point where it is greater than the solar load battery voltage so current stops flowing into it and it is no longer being charged. The better solar chargers have clever electronics to help to get the most out of the load goal at the end of the day you can't cheat physics and the only way to improve on this situation is to increase the solar load battery size.

This is why larger solar panels have charge controllers, so as the battery load increases the charging voltage changes to ensure the battery is fully charged.

Always choose a solar battery load with the largest solar battery.

Therefore when selecting a solar load look at the capacity of the solar battery, it will show capacity in Milli-amp hours, for example 2000mAH (2000 Milli-amp hours) One thousand Milli-amps equals one amp. In terms of battery capacity it will provide 1 amp of current for two hours, 100 Milli-amps for 20 hours, 200 Milli-amps for 10 hours, etc. before it runs flat. Well, that's not strictly true because the battery volts will drop at about 20% capacity and the battery might appear to be flat at that point, and that's another reason why recharging using one battery to charge another battery is not as good as a constant electrical supply. Solar chargers use Li-ion (lithium ion) battery. Li - ion are the new type of light, flat battery and have advantages over conventional Ni Cads and the older lead acid cells, they are lighter and can be discharged more before needing a recharge, and most importantly they are eco friendly.

Always choose a solar load with the largest solar panel

Once you have chosen from solar load with a good-sized battery you have to use the solar cells to charge it Choose the solar load with larger solar cells (we can call them solar panels, but strictly speaking a solar panel is usually a larger separate panel composed of several solar cells)

Sometimes solar cell size is not given as watts purpose instead the voltage and current (Volts and Amps) are given, so to find the watts we multiply volts by Amps, (W = IV) for instance a solar cell specifications might state: 5 Volts / 330 mA. Multiply 5 5V by 0 33 A to find watts, therefore output is about 1.8 watts.

Armed with these facts you can select a solar load with some confidence that it will fulfill your needs.
