Solar Generator: Renogy Phoenix

With the rest of your life being as mobile as it is, it doesn't make sense that your power source shouldn't be too. With the Phoenix Generator, you won't have to compromise your power needs just to spend some time in the great outdoors! Enjoy the best of both worlds with power made portable by Renogy. The Phoenix is an all-in-one portable solar power system specifically designed for mobile, off-grid applications and is ideal for emergencies. This compact, lightweight back-up system combines two highly efficient Renogy 10W Monocrystalline Solar Panels and can expand up to 120 watts with additional PVs. The Phoenix can be charged by solar, AC power, or car power.

The Renogy Phoenix Solar Generator is ideal for powering several on-the-go appliances during a weekend trip, or to keep for back-up power in case of an emergency.

This compact, lightweight back-up system combines two highly efficient Renogy 10W Monocrystalline Solar Panels and is capable of expanding up to 120 watts. The Phoenix is ideal for powering several on-the-go appliances during a weekend trip, or even in an emergency situation.

As we continue to carry more electronic devices with rechargeable batteries into the backcountry, the need to find efficient ways of keeping those gadgets powered on increases too. Our smartphones, GPS devices, GoPro cameras, and headlamps all become dead weight if we can't provide enough juice to keep them running. Over the past few years, we've seen a number of solutions to this challenge, including solar generators from the likes of Goal Zero and EnerPlex. And now Renogy has thrown its hat into the ring with the Phoenix all-in-one solar kit, which makes a valiant attempt to put everything you need into one easy to carry package.

At first glance, the Phoenix looks a lot like a small, hard-shell briefcase that you might see someone carrying around town. It features a very durable build quality and comes equipped with a handle to make it easier to shuttle from one place to the next. It even extends the briefcase aesthetic further with a couple of security latches that hold its lid firmly in place.

Open those latches up, and you won't find an interior built for carrying files, a laptop, and office supplies. Instead you'll discover a pair of 10-watt solar panels that can quickly and easily be deployed as needed, pretty much anytime or anywhere. Those panels are connected to a 16Ah lithium-ion battery pack, which can store power collected directly from the sun, or can be charged using a standard AC outlet at home or the DC port (AKA: cigarette lighter) in a car. This solar-panel/battery mash-up make the Phoenix a portable generator that in theory can provide nearly unlimited power for use on the go.

Renogy's all-in-one power solution is also equipped with an array of different outlets to keep our devices charged. Those plugs include a standard AC outlet, four USB ports, a DC port like the one found in your car, and more. This allows the Phoenix to provide a steady source of power for just about anything you might want to plug in, including laptops tablets, and smartphones. The company says that the solar generator is capable of recharging an iPhone as many as 32 times, an iPad Air 8 times, and a notebook computer up to 5 times. If they were plugged into a wall outlet at home, those devices will even replenish their power supply at about the same rate as they would.

In putting the Phoenix to the test in the field, we've found it to be a reliable option for those who need power at a remote base camp. It's large onboard battery does indeed provide plenty of juice, and it can recharge anything you plug into it very rapidly. And since it does have so many charging ports built right in, it is easy to keep a wide variety of electronic gear up and functioning.

When plugged into an AC or DC outlet, recharging the Phoenix at home or in the car is a breeze and it powers up relatively quickly. As with most products that use solar panels to charge, the performance in the field will vary greatly depending on conditions. Using the built-in dual 10w panels alone, it took hours to get much juice back into the battery pack, even on a clear day. That isn't unusual however, as we've seen similar performance from the competition too. The Phoenix's solar panels do work, but a bit of patience is required. If their requirements demand it, thankfully Renogy has given users the option to plug in more-- and larger-- solar panels.

The other limiting factor on the Phoenix is its form factor and weight. At 12.8 lbs it isn't extremely heavy, but it is still enough to give you pause when carrying it to your campsite, especially when compared to the competition. For instance, Goal Zero's Nomad 20 solar panel also puts out 20 watts of power, and when paired with the Sherpa 100 power pack, you get a full-featured charging solution that clocks in at about a third of the weight, while also being much more packable and less expensive too. On the other hand, the Phoenix offers a lot more power than GZ's solution and it comes equipped with more outlets.

Over all, the Renogy Phoenix is a good option for those who need a portable power solution. It is incredibly rugged, offers the ability to keep just about any gadget functioning while living off the grid, and its solar panels are on par with most others that we've used in the past. I appreciated Renogy's take on offering an all-in-one solar generator that can simply be carried with you anywhere and deployed in a matter of seconds. I also love that I can keep a smartphone, laptop, and tablet charged where ever I go with very few worries that I might run out of juice. Sure, it is a bit heavier and more ponderous to carry around than some other options on the market, but it delivers in terms of performance for those who need more than those other solutions can offer.

Priced at $699.99 (currently on sale for $575), this is an expensive investment for sure. For anyone who needs power in remote places, it is an overall good choice in terms of reliability, durability, and versatility.

Is the Renogy 400W Solar Panel Worth It? Unboxing, Testing & Full Review

[otome-ism]

ハイエースのサブバッテリーシステム見直し

昨年の雪山シーズン前に組んだシステムだったが、インバーターが定格1000Wで電気ケトルを動かすためにはポタ電を起動させなければならなかった。もう少し消費電力少ないケトルを使えばいいのだろうが、せっかくなのでインバーターを大容量化することに。

とりあえずこの２つ、インバーターとシャントを入れ替え。

インバーターはこれまでより太いケーブルが必要になり、以前のケーブルでもヒューズの取り回しで苦労したので、ブレーカー化することに。別途ケーブルも用意。写真のケーブルは走行充電からバッテリーまでのケーブルを作り直す用。

インバーターは容量が倍、大きさも倍、繋ぐケーブルの太さは更に倍。君、デカすぎってよく言われない？

現状1000Wのインバーターは短辺方向で走行充電器に下駄かまして押し込めてたけど、このままでは当然入らないので下駄を新調することに。

DIYの味方G-Funで下駄を製作。これで長辺方向でインバーターをまたぐ仕様に。

余裕をもって作成したつもりだけど結構ギリギリ。それでもインバーターと走行充電との隙間が十分確保できたので走行充電の熱籠りの不安から解き放たれそう。

でっかいシャントはインバーターの位置を前方に動かしたので余裕で設置。バスバーがいい仕事してくれる。

整線して稼働を確認。無事インバーターとシャントを入れ替えられた。これで車中泊がまた捗ってしまうな。

シャントにbluetooth機能がついているので、これまで走行充電の様子しかアプリ確認できなかったけど、今後は消費電力も確認できるようになったので未来きた。以前のモニターは夜には明るすぎて、都度暗くしたりとか面倒だったのよね。あと、自宅にいてもバッテリー残量が確認できるのが便利。

RENOGY 正弦波インバーター2000Wを購入

1年前位に1000W買ってた気がするけど気にしない！1000W以上はポタ電を起動させればいいと思っていた自分をぶん殴りたい。
