Solar and heat pump: US manufacturer presents self-sufficient caravan
With the P21, the US company Polydrops is launching a exceptional caravan onto the market, which is designed to function without any additional power supply. To achieve this, the manufacturer has equipped the caravan with the latest technology without sacrificing the necessary comfort.
Caravan with solar system and heat pump
The harmoniously integrated solar modules on the roof of the P21 are immediately noticeable. They deliver a total output of 1300 Watt. Thanks to the built-in LiFePO4 power storage Up to five kilowatt hours of electricity from the solar system can be stored and used flexibly at a later time. This means that you always have enough energy for your most important devices, even when you are far away from the nearest power source.
In addition to the solar system, the P21 stands out above all for its Heat pump from the competition. The heat pump should also work independently of external power sources and be able to both heat and cool the caravan. In combination with efficient insulation, the heat pump ensures a comfortably warm climate in cold weather and pleasantly cool temperatures on hot days.
There is a catch, however: at full capacity, the heat pump consumes up to 3.5 kilowatt hours. Even with a full power storage unit, the power would run out in less than two hours in this scenario.
