Solar power for home and on the go: A guide
The Sun as an Inexhaustible Energy Source
Solar energy is not only good for the environment, but also for your wallet. More and more people in Germany are turning to solar power – whether on the roof, the balcony, or on the go.
Solar Panel Types Compared
| Type | Efficiency | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Monocrystalline | 18-23% | Highest efficiency, ideal for on the go |
| Polycrystalline | 15-18% | Good efficiency, more affordable |
| Thin-Film | 10-12% | Flexible, lightweight, but lower efficiency |
The NITIGO SP200 Solar Panel
Our NITIGO SP200 uses high-quality monocrystalline cells with up to 23% efficiency. It is foldable, portable, and IP67 waterproof – perfect for camping, RVs, and emergency backup.
How to Calculate Your Solar Needs
A 200W solar panel produces about 800-1000Wh of electricity on a sunny day. This allows you to:
- Run a refrigerator (50W) for approx. 16-20 hours
- Charge a smartphone approx. 50-80 times
- Use a laptop for approx. 8-12 hours
Tip: Power Station + Solar = Maximum Freedom
The combination of a power station and solar panel is the most efficient solution for off-grid energy supply. During the day, the solar panels charge the power station; at night, you use the stored electricity.
