Mastering Solar Charging on the Everest Trek

Free Power for Your Expedition

Harness the Sun

The sun is intense at altitude. Using a solar panel can save you hundreds of dollars in charging fees. Here is how to do it right on your Everest trekking trip.

Hang it Right

Strap the panel to the top of your pack. Angle it towards the sun. Even while walking, it can trickle charge a battery. It’s passive energy for your Mount Everest expedition.

Don't Charge Phone Directly

Solar output fluctuates with shadows. This wakes your phone screen constantly, draining battery faster than it charges. Always charge a power bank, then charge the phone from the bank at night.

Keep it Cool

Solar panels work best when cool. Don't put them under glass or plastic. Let the air flow. Efficient charging keeps your camera ready for the Everest summit shot.

Go Green

Solar is clean, free, and effective. It makes you independent on the trail.
