Portable solar power supplyFor those who are looking for a portable solar power supply, perhaps it might be best to purchase a kit that includes all of the items that a person who is on the go might need to ensure that he is receiving all of the energy that he needs.

There are many companies who will actually sell a backpack that will meet all of the solar power needs of a sailor, hiker, camper, trailer driver or even someone who needs some disaster relief.

Even though what exactly is inside of these kits can vary, in general they all hold similar items. Some of the items inside of these kits or backpacks may include:

• A 20-watt PV panel – These panels could be a little more or a little less than 20 watts, but regardless they should be able to do the job. In order to make it easier to carry, these are often foldable. Foldable panels can be convenient, but they also tend to work slightly less efficient than more rigid panels.

• Battery controller – Because most electrical items run on AC current and the electrical energy harnessed by solar panels is DC current, it is vital that a kit or backpack have a converter in order to be able to use the energy that you have captured.

Typically, these kinds of backpacks stay fairly light, but they can weigh as much as 30 pounds. A person who is driving across country may want to keep all supplies inside of it, but those who are traveling through the wilderness on a hiking expedition would be wise to remove some of the less needed items and stick with the essentials in order to reduce the weight.

It is fairly easy to know what kinds of things not include on a hiking trip. Obviously, things like jumper cables or a car lighter port are not necessary.

However, most of the other items are necessary. If a person plans to take a portable solar power supply, he should prepare himself to carry an extra 10-20 pounds.
