When you're deep in the wild, chasing sunsets or camping under starlit skies, there’s nothing worse than seeing your phone or GPS device die on you. Whether you're documenting your journey, navigating remote trails, or staying connected with loved ones, having reliable power is essential. This summer, stay powered sustainably with solar charging solutions—especially NESTOUT’s line of compact and rugged solar panels designed for life outdoors.

Here’s your go-to guide for staying powered on the go, featuring solar charging tips, expert advice, and NESTOUT’s must-have gear for summer adventures.

Why Go Solar on Your Adventures?

Solar charging is perfect for backpackers, road trippers, campers, and off-grid explorers. It’s:

  • Eco-friendly – Harness renewable energy from the sun.

  • Silent and portable – No noisy generators or bulky equipment.

  • Reliable – As long as there’s sun, you have power.

Insider Solar Charging Tips

Here’s how to get the most out of your solar setup this summer:

1. Charge During Peak Sunlight Hours - Solar panels perform best when the sun is high (typically 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.). Set your panels up during this window for maximum efficiency.

2. Adjust the Angle - Tilt the panels directly toward the sun. Use rocks, your backpack, or built-in kickstands to find the best angle and avoid shadows.

3. Use a Power Bank as a Buffer - Instead of charging your phone directly, plug the solar panel into a NESTOUT power bank first. This protects sensitive electronics from fluctuations and lets you store energy for later.

4. Avoid Overheating Devices - Lay devices in the shade while charging to prevent overheating—especially phones and tablets. A light-colored towel or cooling pouch works wonders.

5. Don’t Leave Panels Out Overnight - Pack up your panels when the sun goes down to protect them from dew, rain, or unexpected wildlife interest.

Where Solar Charging Shines: Best Use Cases

  • Backpacking Trips – Attach panels to your pack and charge on the move.

  • Camping & Basecamps – Keep panels set up to trickle-charge power banks during the day.

  • Road Trips – Use the dashboard or roof of your car to absorb sunlight at stops.

  • Photography Missions – Power cameras, drones, and backup drives with renewable energy.
