2E portable solar panels: personal energy independence on the balcony or apartment window

Many know that solar panels are solving problems that arise from electricity shutdown. But what to do when it is not possible to install a solar panel on the roof of the house or to place it in the house? What to do to those who live in apartments in cities? But how to make the home of energy independent without significant financial costs? In this material, we answer these and other related questions on the example of portable 2e solar panels.

Portable solar panels: installation in the realities of the city

You must admit that residents of the city have limited opportunities for installing solar panels, because in order to obtain the necessary power it is necessary to cover them with a large area. Nevertheless, even a small station of one or more panels with proper installation can satisfy the minimum needs of one apartment

A personal home solar power system consists of:

1. portable solar panel;
2. fastening;
3. cable;
4. power station (ideally, but in general it could be a power bank or other household device that needs to be charged).

By the way, you can choose panels, cables and power stations for them from the 2E assortment, because here you have everything to assemble your own portable solar power station.

The panels are usually installed on the south side of the house, otherwise they will not work. The area should not be shaded by trees or other houses.

Since there is little space on a balcony or loggia, it is better to choose panels that have a high efficiency (the percentage of sunlight that the panels are able to convert into electricity). New Year’s solar panels 2E have an efficiency level at the level of world leaders – 20-22%.

Important! When installing, you need to consider the angle at which the panel will be turned towards the sun. The optimal angle is 35-40°.

Apartment residents can also install panels on:

• the outer wall under the window;
• balcony terrace, if the balcony is large and open;
• the outer side of the window;
• the wall or the roof of the house, if you still manage to agree with the neighbors.

2E solar panels and charging stations: the key to energy independence

2E panels together with portable power plants are compatible and complementary sources of electricity. Compatibility is due to the fact that solar panels serve as a source of charge for portable power plants. This makes the stations even more versatile, because they can provide energy for devices even in the absence of electricity.

Solar panels are equipped with a typical MC4 connector. With the help of 2E connectors and splitters, they can be combined into portable arrays of any power – from 100 W to 5 kW and more!
