Stop Guessing Your Solar.
Predict Your Amps.
CampaWatt transforms raw solar irradiance (W/m²) into realistic 12V/24V battery charging current (Amps) and stored energy (Ah). Designed specifically for campers, caravans, and 4WD tourers who live off-grid.

Built by Campers, for Campers
Generic weather apps give you a cheerful sun icon or rain cloud, but they can't tell you if your 12V fridge will survive 3 days in the shade. CampaWatt solves that.
From Watts to Usable Amps
Weather forecasters report solar radiation in MJ/m² or W/m². CampaWatt factors your roof solar wattage, portable blanket output, panel tilt, controller efficiency, and battery chemistry to provide true 12V charging Amps and daily Amp-hours.
Proactive Sun Chasing
When an unexpected front sweeps over your campground, don't wait for your inverter to trip. CampaWatt’s proprietary Sun Chase™ engine calculates optimal destinations within driving range with significantly better solar prospects.
Total Multi-Day Trip Peace of Mind
Sync your itinerary directly with WikiCamps or custom road trips. Forecast whether each campsite stay will leave your battery bank fully topped up or running on empty before you even pull out of the driveway.

Engineered for the Modern Touring Setup
Every feature in CampaWatt was created to eliminate power anxiety in remote bush camps and off-grid campsites.
Personalized Rig Profiles
Set your primary rooftop panel wattage, toggle portable folding blankets when setting up camp, and configure your lithium (LiFePO4) or AGM battery capacities.
- Fixed roof solar vs ground blankets
- Custom daily appliance loads (fridges, inverters, Starlink)
- Accurate nominal charging voltages
Sun Chase™ Relocation Radar
Caught under a stationary trough or storm cell? CampaWatt continuously evaluates 8 compass bearings up to 300km away to pinpoint where skies are clear.
- Gain percentages (e.g. +45% solar output)
- Calculates driving distance vs solar gain
- Auto-resolves nearby sunny towns & regions
Trip Timeline & WikiCamps Import
Import your planned itinerary from WikiCamps or map your custom expedition. Get multi-day solar forecasts mapped directly to each night's campsite stay.
- Instant WikiCamps segment synchronization
- Warning flags for deficit battery days
- Sunrise & sunset solar harvesting windows
Atmospheric Solar Curves
View direct, diffuse, and global irradiance curves by the hour. Anticipate midday generation spikes and plan heavy power usage (induction cooking, charging ebikes) with precision.
- W/m² and Wh/m² radiation curves
- Cloud density & temperature tracking
- Instant vs daily cumulative generation
Weather Apps vs. CampaWatt
See why standard weather apps leave campers with dead auxiliary batteries.
| Feature | Standard Weather App | CampaWatt |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Output | Generic "Partly Cloudy" icon | Real 12V Amps & Daily Amp-Hours (Ah) |

| Solar Deficit Warning | None | Warns if daily fridge draw exceeds solar intake |
| Sun Chase™ Recommendations | None | Identifies sunny campsites within driving range |
| WikiCamps Integration | None | Direct route sync with multi-stop solar timeline |
Frequently Asked Questions
CampaWatt pulls solar shortwave radiation and irradiance models from global meteorology satellites, then applies an advanced physical derating model (~75% real-world efficiency factor, PWM/MPPT controller conversion, and nominal voltage) tailored to your specific solar panels and battery capacity.
Yes! CampaWatt is engineered as a cross-platform progressive suite built for mobile (iOS & Android) and accessible through any web browser at campawatt.com.
Sun Chase™ analyzes 8 radial bearings around your current location across distances of 50 km to 300 km. It projects 4-day solar radiation models across the surrounding region and highlights nearby towns or campgrounds that boast significantly higher sunny hours.
