240W Monocrystalline Folding Solar Blanket by REDARC that is lightweight and rugged, while portable and compact to move between car and campsite. A perfect addition to your BCDC Battery Charger or GoBlock, both of which have internal solar MPPT regulators as standard.
Overview
Looking for the best portable solar blankets for camping? This 240W monocrystalline solar blanket is not only lightweight and compact, it is rugged for off-road conditions and capable of capturing maximum charge in full sun and low-light conditions.
Our flexible and convenient solar blankets are packed with more value than ever, REDARC’s monocrystalline solar blankets can be folded up into a neat package and offer flexibility that’s not available with fixed or folding panels. Drape it over the bonnet or windscreen, lay it on the ground or hang it from the side of your awning. When it’s time to hit the road, just fold it up and pack it away.
Flexible portable solar blanket perfect for camping
These new solar blankets are constructed from heavy duty canvas and covered in an anti-reflective and scratch resistant ethylene tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) coating, improving efficiency and making them extremely durable, perfect for off-road conditions.
No longer do you need to worry about shadows wiping out your panel’s efficiency. Bypass diodes connect each solar window, minimising the impact of shadows making them the best solar panels for 4x4 and caravan travel.
Portable solar panel system
With genuine industry standard Anderson™ SB™50 connectors, setting up camp is easier than ever. These high-quality Anderson™ plugs are simple and fast to connect with no screw terminals and no risk of poor connections from frayed wires or loose terminals – just plug and play!
Designed to charge 12V Automotive, Marine and Recreational Vehicle battery systems, the 240W monocrystalline solar blanket will provide extra battery charge to power 12V equipment.
REDARC recommends the purchase of a REDARC Solar Regulator, which is essential to ensure the correct charge is supplied safely and efficiently and will protect batteries from over charging. Minimum 20A Solar Regulator is required for the 240W Monocrystalline solar blanket.
Check out the kit version which includes a 20A solar regular and 5m Anderson cable.
REDARC 240W Monocrystalline Solar Blanket Features
Pair your REDARC solar blanket with a trusty DC charger or lithium portable power station so you and your family can travel further for longer with all the comforts you want from home.
What is the difference between amorphous and crystalline silicon panels?
Amorphous type solar technology uses Silicon in a non-crystalline, random form. It can be deposited onto many different substrates to give effects like flexibility for use in different applications. Amorphous type solar technology falls under the 'thin-film' category of solar modules. Amorphous type solar panels have a typical efficiency of around 6-7%.
Crystalline silicon type solar technology refers to moncrystalline and polycrystalline panels. These panels are created from silicon in a tetrahedral lattice type structure. This structure give crystalline silicon type solar modules a higher efficiency per square meter than amorphous type modules.
The REDARC range of solar blankets allows you to get away from traditional camp sites and harness free power from the sun to charge your battery.
