Compact, portable solar that’ll keep your drinks cold.
Our Portable Solar Blankets will change the way you camp. Folding up into one compact tile, our blankets are an ideal charging solution for those short on space. Constructed using A-grade monocrystalline solar cells with PERC technology, the blanket will produce up to 12.2A per hour. Perfect as a standalone charging option for setups running a standard 12V fridge and lights, or as a portable solution made to compliment a much larger setup, our blankets are a great choice for anyone from the casual camper right through to the 24/7 caravanners after an extra bit of power.
Designed to be setup in under a minute, the panel simply unfolds ready to be laid over the ground, bonnet, or windscreen, otherwise, use the tabs to tie it down in windy conditions or hang it from your awning. The panels come with a strengthened cell backing, and a strong 600D poly-cotton exterior designed to keep the panel safe when you’re travelling around the country.
PERC CELL TECHNOLOGY
Our solar blankets are made with an advanced cell technology known as PERC (Passivated Emitter and Rear Contact). Invented in Australia, PERC cells are significantly more efficient than conventional types, due to the addition of an extra reflective layer at the back of the cell.
This layer, known as a passivation and capping layer, sends unused light back across the solar cell to improve energy capture, as well as reduce heat caused by longer wavelengths that would otherwise impair the cell’s performance.

Jeremy –
After watching countless solar blanket reviews on youtube, solar blankets can be a bit hit and miss, questionable quality and never delivering their advertised output. Well this 200w blanket is the real deal, layed on the back of my ute tub lid it was putting out 195w/10.8Amps in the 10am sun. Once the blanket was heat saturated the output dropped to about 10amps. On a bright overcast day I’m seeing 6amps/120w. Super happy with it’s performance, It’s middle of the road when it comes to cost, but it’s quality is miles better than cheap rubbish and it’s output rivals blankets at double the cost. Sets up in about 30 seconds. Little tip – if the blankets laying flat, grab a pair of steelcaps or shoes you’re not wearing when you’re walking around camp in thongs to prop half the blanket at 45degrees to catch the sun and the output jumps up a considerable amount.
