Explorer Solar Generator 300 Plus: A Portable Power Revolution

Wei Bai, Hanbei Chen and Xiaowei Yin's Award-Winning Green Energy Solution

Addressing the energy crisis with a portable, user-friendly design, the Explorer Solar Generator 300 Plus by Wei Bai, Hanbei Chen and Xiaowei Yin offers a practical solution for efficient utilization of clean, renewable energy. This lightweight, high-performance energy storage set has won the prestigious Golden A' Energy Products, Projects and Devices Design Award in 2023.

The Explorer Solar Generator 300 Plus is a unique response to the escalating energy crisis. The designers were inspired by the worsening climate environment, prompting them to create a portable "photovoltaic power station". This lightweight, cost-effective solution is designed to meet the power needs of various scenarios, including short-distance travel, outdoor camping, and household power emergencies.

What sets the Explorer Solar Generator 300 Plus apart is its high performance and portability. The energy storage, with a capacity of 300Wh, weighs only 3.5kg, and its minimalist square shape facilitates easy storage and folding. The 40W solar panel weighs just 1.1kg and folds to the size of a briefcase, ensuring lightweight outdoor travel.

The technology behind this design is equally impressive. The energy storage uses LiFePO4 battery cells, which have a lifetime six times that of regular ones, up to 10 years. It allows fast charging via mains electricity and solar panel, reaching a full charge in just 1.5 hours. The solar panel uses mono-crystalline silicon material and an ETFE integrated lamination process, enabling a photoelectric conversion rate of up to 23% for quick power supply.

Despite its compact size, the Explorer Solar Generator 300 Plus is designed to withstand extreme conditions. The solar panel, made of mono-crystalline silicon photovoltaic material, is covered with an ETFE film, providing superior water and dust resistance rated as IP67. The energy storage, made of shock-proof and fall-resistant 94V-0 fireproof plastic, has a lifetime of up to 10 years and a remaining capacity of over 80% after 3000 cycles of recharging.

Designed by Wei Bai, Hanbei Chen and Xiaowei Yin, the Explorer Solar Generator 300 Plus is a testament to the potential of green energy solutions. With its high conversion, small size, and portability, it offers a more convenient, efficient, and colorful outdoor living experience for users, contributing to the goal of green and low-carbon development.

The Explorer Solar Generator 300 Plus is not just a product, but a revolution in portable power supply. By offering a practical, efficient solution to the energy crisis, it embodies extraordinary excellence and significantly impacts the world with its desirable characteristics. This design is a shining example of how art, science, design, and technology can come together to create a product that is not only functional and practical but also contributes to a sustainable future.
