Portable batteries and energy self-sufficiency

Discover a new way to supply energy in your home or electric vehicle.


Alongside electric mobility, another movement is beginning to emerge: that of energy self-sufficiency. There is a series of equipment that allows you to produce your own energy and thus power the various equipment at home or your electric car.


Portable Batteries or Generators


Have you ever imagined a scenario where you run out of battery in your car, or that, for some reason, you ran out of electricity at home. You are probably already familiar with conventional electric generators, mostly known for their enormous size and noise while they work.


Fortunately, there are currently a number of options with a more practical design, with equal power and smaller size. We are talking about generators and portable batteries that can be easily stored at home, or transported in vans, caravans or simply in the trunk of your car.


How do portable batteries work?


Portable batteries or generators must be connected to the mains or a solar panel in order to be fully charged. Once charged, you can easily connect your appliances and electronic equipment to them; since many of these generators already have Schuko sockets and USB inputs.


Can I control portable batteries remotely?


Currently, several manufacturers have mobile applications so that you can remotely control your portable battery, as well as manage energy costs.



Complement with Solar Panels


Certainly, when reading this article, you have thought several times about the possible expenses that carrying a portable generator can add to your electricity bill. The truth is that you can get around this situation with a solar panel. Currently, there are a series of options tailored to your needs, so you can charge your home's portable battery or electric car.


Fixed Solar Panels vs Portable Solar Panels


It currently has two options for solar panels to recharge its portable generators: either fixed or portable.


Portable solar panels, as the name implies, can be carried anywhere. They are generally lighter and have a collapsible and packable design. It's the perfect solution for electric vehicles or anyone with a business on wheels like street food.


Fixed solar panels, on the other hand, with a robust structure and more resistant to adverse weather conditions, are more oriented towards the supply of domestic energy without taking up as much space as conventional photovoltaic panels.


Why Should You Stick to Portable Batteries?


It is a more environmentally friendly electrical production system, with real savings on the electricity bill in the medium to long term. An initial investment that pays off over time.
