Harnessing solar energy to keep your auxiliary batteries charged enough to power camping gear and electric devices has become quite popular among outdoor enthusiasts in Australia. And for a good reason. Using solar panels to power up your outdoor adventures is not only environmentally-friendly, you actually save money – more on that in a bit.
And we have sung praises for solar panels here in this blog. Oh boy, did we talk about them. But most of our articles here have focused on caravan solar panels and folding solar panels and solar blankets. We realized we have not really discussed the possibility that flexible solar panels could also be a top choice for camping.
So, is it? Before we get into the nitty gritty and hopefully you get to decide for yourself, let us do a quick refresher on why campers love using solar panels for camping in the first place.
If you have ever set up a campsite using a portable generator before, you totally know why this is a huuuge benefit. Even inverter generators emit a low hum (assuming you are not using it on full power) that is about as loud as your typical refrigerator.
Maybe we are nitpicking a bit here because for a generator, that is already remarkably silent. BUT if you are really trying to spend a peaceful night outdoors, with nothing but the sounds of nature to lull you to sleep – go for a solar panel instead.
