In rise of the eco-friendly culture there have been a few different products that have been created. One of the most unique is a device called a solar sauna. What is a solar sauna?, you may be asking yourself. In this article we’ll discuss this new product and other alternatives to it.
What Is A Solar Sauna?
A solar sauna is a sauna that uses large glass windows to capture energy from the sun and convert it into natural heat. On warm sunny days these types of saunas can reach temperatures as high as traditional sauna heaters.
Since these devices use solar power they are completely eco-friendly and natural. The light exposure from the sun gives you essential vitamins and minerals. Its also completely free to use since you don’t need eletrcity.
Solar saunas are very niche product and don’t get sold very often. For this reason they are typically very expensive and hard to get. Out of all the manufactures the SETI (Solar Energy Technology Inc.) is the best. We recommend visiting Dynamic Solar to learn more about these types of solar saunas.
Solar Sauna Alternative
While solar saunas are a great product, they are very limited for when and where you can use them. If you are looking for a quality home sauna then there is another eco-friendly alternative.
This alternative consists of an outdoor sauna and quality solar panels. With this set up consists of the sauna itself, solar panels, a charge controller, batteries, and an inverter. While this sounds like a lot its actually very easy to set up. You can create this whole system with around the same cost as a solar sauna.
With this setup you get a completely functional outdoor sauna that can be used whenever you like. You can use it in the morning, the day, or at night. The battery packs supply this energy and can be used when ever you like.
These batteries can be purchase online from Amazon or you can purchase a Powerwall from Tesla. These large battery packs can easily power a solar sauna setup. The only negative thing is that the Powerwall is expensive and it will increase your overall costs.
As for the other solar equipment we recommend looking at RV Solar Panel Kits. These RV kits are very similar to the equipment needed to power an outdoor sauna. They also provide the same size and output requirements.
If you plan on buying a larger sauna then we recommend getting a solar kit that produces 400W or more. 400 watts should be the minimum as you will need to produce a lot of energy to power your sauna.
Conclusion
In the end both eco-friendly options are great. Solar saunas are a very passive and natural way to sauna bathe. Solar panel saunas are simply allow you to bathe more often at any time that you like. While this article isn’t a formal guide to solar sauna set ups, we will create one soon.
