3 must have additions for your portable solar panel kit

#1 DROK® USB Digital Ampere Voltage Multimeter

Something I do recommend investing in when considering USB solar panels is something called a USB Charge Doctor. This is a small device which measures the Voltage and Amperage output coming from your panels. They are really cheap and can also help you find the maximum angle where your panels can absorb the most direct sunlight and output max power.

#2 Goal Zero Guide 10 Plus AA / AAA Battery Charger Pack

The Goal Zero Guide 10 Plus is a must have for any of your devices dependent upon AA and AAA batteries as a power source. When I was looking for a charging options for devices other than phones or tablets there were many cheaper alternatives I could have bought. I went with the Goal Zero because they make great quality stuff and the other battery chargers out were super cheap and unreliable. This battery charger pack has the proprietary connection for use with other Goal Zero Options, but it also comes with a Mini-USB interface allowing you to use it with any USB solar panel kits. One more thing I will mention is out of the box the Goal Zero Guide 10 Plus only charges AA batteries, but they also include a battery insert for charging AAA batteries.

#3 Sabrent 4-Port USB 2.0 Hub with Individual Power Switches

A lot of the entry level solar panel kits only come with single or dual USB output interfaces to charge your electronic devices. To overcome that limitation, investing in a small USB hub will greatly expand the number of devices you are able to charge at one time. The Sabrent 4-Port USB Hub not only gives you more charging capacity but also gives you the ability to switch on and off power to the ports of you choice, increasing charging time for your devices.

With these 3 additions to your Off Grid solar kits, you can greatly increase your range of charging options and provide power to the necessary equipment during any disaster scenario.
