How portable solar panels can help you in a disaster

Disaster can strike at any time, whether it is an earthquake, a flood, a hurricane or a forest fire. When that happens, the power supply can be disrupted or even fail completely, leaving you without electricity for your essential appliances and needs. Think of your phone, your laptop, your refrigerator, your medical equipment, your lights and much more.

Fortunately, there is a way to prepare for such a scenario and be self-sufficient in energy: portable solar panels. Portable solar panels are compact and lightweight devices that capture and store solar energy in a built-in battery, which you can then use to charge or power your devices from a wall outlet, a USB port or a 12V outlet.

Portable solar panels have many advantages over traditional generators or batteries when it comes to disaster preparedness. Here are some of the most important:

They are environmentally friendly and durable

They use no fossil fuels, produce no exhaust fumes or noise, and reduce your carbon footprint.

They are independent of the power grid

You don’t have to worry about power outages, fuel shortages or high electricity bills. You can generate and use your own energy wherever the sun shines.

They are easy to use and maintain

Just place them in the sun and turn them on with one button. They require no complicated wiring or installation and require little to no maintenance.

They are versatile and powerful

You can use them for all kinds of devices, from laptops to coolers to sound systems. Some models can even power devices up to 800W, which is enough for most household appliances.

They are quick to charge and have a long service life

Depending on the model and weather conditions, they can be fully charged within a few hours with solar power or via mains power with an adapter. They can also be connected to additional solar panels to increase charging speed. Moreover, they last for thousands of charging cycles, making them a good long-term investment.
