Going Green?


Ok So I now have my charging system for the dub on the move but I’m hitting problems with 12v power when I am camping for more then two days. So I have been looking at other ways of creating power.

Wind Power

There’s always wind what about a wind turbine? Well I had a good look around and found a couple of units that would do the job, so I went and had a look at a couple on an US camper.

Yes power output was good but the noise was just to much and the set up time would be over an hour on site before I could start to get every thing else sorted.

Solar Power

This was I’m sure going to be the way forward as I have seen some very thin panels fitted to boats but what about the cost?. Yep this was the problem for the size of panel and a 65w output I would need most good panels where over £700 so I started to look all over the net of a panel that would do the job and I found a company called http://www.sunshinesolar.co.uk they had a panel called “Sunshine Marine Solar Module 65W” and the cost was just under £400 per panel, Result!

So with the panel sorted I needed to be able to link it into the existing power charging system.   So I found a change regulator (7amp) that would do the job and only £20
