The Pea Experiment: A Metaphor for Energy Awareness
During our recent pitch meeting, our CEO Mark shared an intriguing anecdote that I thought perfectly encapsulates Undertwok’s mission. He talked about how he conducted an experiment in his kitchen, boiling two sets of peas on the hob – one shelled and one unshelled – to determine which would cook faster.
This seemingly mundane act of curiosity highlights a crucial point: awareness of energy consumption starts with small, everyday observations.
This experiment is a metaphor for one of our goals: to create consciousness and awareness around energy use, prompting us to make better, more informed decisions. By understanding the nuances of energy consumption in our daily lives, we can take meaningful steps towards more sustainable practices, with solar energy being a prime example of this shift.
Portable Power Stations: Essential for Off-Grid Adventures
Portable power stations are the heart of any off-grid power setup. These units combine a high-capacity battery with a battery management system including various output options to charge and power various devices.
Starting off strong, the Jackery Explorer 1000, a versatile power station offers 1000W of output and a 1002Wh capacity, making it ideal for powering small appliances and charging multiple devices simultaneously. With 3 AC outlets, 2 USB-C ports, and 2 USB-A ports, it’s a great all-around option for camping trips or emergency backup power.
When you need something a bit more power serious, the Bluetti AC200P L delivers with 2000W of continuous output and a massive 2000Wh capacity. It can handle power-hungry devices and even includes a wireless charging pad on top for added convenience.
Harness Solar Power with Portable Panels
You can also pair your power station with portable solar panels to harness the sun’s energy and extend your off-grid power capabilities.
Foldable solar panels like the Jackery SolarSaga 200W are engineered to pair effortlessly with Jackery power stations, while also being compatible with other brands. Featuring a high conversion efficiency of 24.3%, these panels provide reliable energy, ensuring your power station stays charged during long outdoor adventures.
Offering 200W of solar power in a portable package, the Bluetti PV200 Solar Panel is an excellent choice for faster charging of your Bluetti power station. Its durable design and integrated kickstand make it easy to set up and use in various environments.
Finally, let’s look into the Jackery SolarSaga 40 Mini. It costs just £122, but could save you so much more! It’s a lightweight, portable solar panel perfect for outdoor activities like camping and hiking. Weighing just 1.18kgs, it offers 23% solar conversion efficiency and features dual USB-A/C ports for direct device charging.
