It can work in your
vehicle easily!
Solar panels are available in all shapes & sizes
and are very compact & light. This means it is easy to take them
with you while camping, driving or boating.
In general boating uses a small wind turbine with
optional solar panels to produce power, while cars / van / trucks
use solar panels mounted on the roof for their main power source. Of
course many choose to use just an inverter without solar panels etc
especially in trucks - just using power from the batteries that is
replenished while driving.
Click on a picture above to find more specific
details.
For this type of
system, you will need:
-
An Energy Converter (normally solar
modules though wind can be used)
-
A Regulator (unless the energy
converter (#1) is self-regulated)
-
Batteries (needed to release energy when you
need it)
-
Stand Alone Inverter (rated to your power
need)
-
Wires & connectors to go between
#1-4
-
THAT'S IT!!
It doesn't get too much easier! In most cases you
simply connect the Inverter to your battery & plug in your
appliance (TV, Fridge etc) and away you go!
