It's been some time since our last blog update, and we're excited to announce a commitment to delivering more high-quality articles in the future. Should there be a specific topic you'd like us to cover, please email us. Today, we're introducing an eco-friendly Wi-Fi solution ideal for frequent travelers and regular road Wi-Fi users: powering the ZBT-MiFi with a solar panel.
Why Use a Solar Panel?
Although the ZBT-MiFi comes with a robust 5,000mAh internal battery, having an alternative power source is invaluable. Solar power offers a cost-free, renewable energy solution, ensuring your router remains operational under sunlight. This is especially useful when traveling in regions where electricity access is limited.
Keep Your Router Powered Day and Night
For road trips, attaching a solar panel to your vehicle's roof provides a continuous power supply to your ZBT-MiFi, simultaneously charging the built-in battery. The device will seamlessly switch to battery mode when sunlight is insufficient. With prolonged sunlight exposure during travel, you may not need to recharge your router at night.
When You're Home
Most travel routers are designed solely for on-the-go use, but the ZBT-MiFi's capabilities extend beyond travel. It can serve as a repeater to eliminate Wi-Fi dead zones in your home. Additionally, we propose a more innovative use: pairing a solar-powered ZBT-MiFi with a security camera in your yard. In sunny areas, installing a solar panel on your roof or outdoors can harvest energy to power the ZBT-MiFi continuously. On average, sunny conditions provide about 4.3 volts and nearly 1,000mA of electric current to the ZBT-MiFi. This setup allows the security camera to function seamlessly, even during power outages, as the ZBT-MiFi offers approximately 8 hours of battery life when fully charged.
