For many of us, retreating into the wild with only our overland vehicle and ourselves is a great way to recharge yourself. But how do you replenish your energy while exploring off-the-beaten tracks?
Exploring the backcountry can be made safer and much more comfortable with today’s modern overlander gadgets.
all these remarkable items require one thing in common: Power.
You can idle your engine to recharge the house batteries from the alternator to produce that electricity. However, this approach reduces your range and fills your campground with fumes.
Carrying a gasoline-powered generator is an option, too, but it’s heavy, smelly, and, quite frankly, one of my least favorite sounds when I’m out enjoying nature!
Consider building a solar power system for your rig.
It may seem overwhelming to master all there is to know about solar energy products but don’t be daunted!
3 main pieces make a solar system photovoltaic solar panels, charge controllers & batteries.
Solar panels absorb the sun’s rays while a charge controller converts & regulates electricity for use.
When selecting a solar panel for your energy requirements, you should first look at wattage. Usually falling between 60 to 200 watts.
Calculate overall usage per day to make the decision.
Note - Solar Energy is derived from Sun Rays, as such, Weather, Shades & Season will affect your overall capacity.
Therefore, consider getting the right size battery for power backup.
Once you jolt these pointers down, any trip you make will be easier & without hassle!
For the day, you will maintain free power directly from panels & during the night, from the batteries!
