You pretty much can’t escape the dependency on solar energy here on Earth Nobody would be alive, not me or you or any plant or animal, if the sun suddenly stopped burning. Plankton, one of the smallest, most simple forms of life on this planet, must have solar energy to develop and live. Obviously, without any solar energy, you could say goodbye to all plant life on this planet. And if the plants were all gone, all the animals who depend on plants will soon die, and that moves on up the food chain, all the way to us, humans. So while we may not absorb light energy directly like the plants on our planet, we are still indirectly dependent on solar energy from the sun.

Using mono-crystalline solar technology, the Nomad 27M solar panel is by all accounts an outstanding source of free electricity. Not only can the unit be charged during all types of weather, but it also pumps out a generous 27 watts. As far as charging the batteries are concerned, on can expect a full charge within as little as 4 to 5 hours, providing you have sunny conditions. Even when it’s only partly sunny, a full charge will usually take no longer than 7 hours, and if it’s completely overcast, 15 hours is usually adequate. With that said, the actual time it takes for the batteries to recharge fully does also depend on the type of batteries being used. Even though some batteries can take 30 or 40 hours to recharge during adverse weather, it’s not really much of an issue, considering you’re getting electricity with having to worry about bills.
