GLAMPSITES and is modular and easy to store. Portable Power Technology offers several portable power solutions ranging from a single light for quick trips to the toilet after dark all the way up to larger scale silent, rechargeable power solutions that provide AC electricity for larger appliances, all of which are ideal for the glamping market. “Offering your customers a system that can be installed easily in each individual accommodation unit on off-grid sites will allow them to have the freedom to be able to charge phones if needed, read a book using LED light into the night or listen to music,” says Whymark. “We feel that one of the main attractions of glamping is the freedom it gives you to step out of your day to day life and relax in any way you want. However, customers will still have some level of expectation with regards to the comfort and security that comes from light and indeed basic power,” she adds. The company also stocks the NIWA Home 200 X2, which it describes as a complete, all in one, safe and easy to install modular solar system that provides a dimmable and efficient lighting source, phone and small device charging facilities via USB and a solar panel. “The system is fully expandable by adding more lights and power packs that simply click into place,” says Whymark. GETTY IMAGES Another option is the small, lightweight and powerful PPT Powerpack 300+, which consists of an internal lithium battery and pure sinewave inverter to deliver AC and a battery charger. “This product is solar ready and can also be charged via the mains. It is perfect for powering lights, audio equipment, device charging, laptops, televisions and more,” she says. Portable Power Technology also offers larger off-grid silent and solar rechargeable power ABOVE The Powerpack 300+ from Portable Power Technology delivers AC and DC power wherever you need it LEFT Solar Technology International's Solar Hub 16, a complete lighting and power kit in a box systems that utilise an inverter, battery bank and solar panels. These have been developed to allow more prolonged use of power-hungry AC appliances where required. CONCLUSION So, where mains power isn’t an option, there are ways of offering your glampers the services they expect without great expense. There are even solutions for running washing machines and hair dryers. With some systems, the amount of power created by renewable sources alone may be dependent on the weather, but even those that rely on traditional charging methods can be aesthetically pleasing and, most important of all, silent. Many of the options discussed are scalable, giving you the option of add-ons as and when you need them. They can also be moved and deployed elsewhere and stored in the winter, and no maintenance or technical skills are required to run them.
