Ever run out of power while off-grid on an adventure? If your answer is yes, you likely don’t need more convincing as to why a solar blanket is one of the handiest pieces of equipment you can have off-grid. Purpose-built to accompany you on your travels, REDARC’s portable and lightweight solar blankets allow you to charge your batteries or appliances, even in the shade.
Who needs one?
Anyone who’s out on a 4X4 adventure or has taken a few weeks away from the big smoke in their caravan could do with a solar blanket. Harnessing the free power that the sun provides, the REDARC solar blanket can be draped over your vehicle’s windscreen, hung over something in your campsite, or simply just laid flat on the ground. The solar blanket is both lightweight and easily transported, which makes moving it around the campsite a breeze when you’re chasing the sunshine or are frequently on the move.
Stored so easily you won’t even know it’s there
We know the pain of playing Tetris with your gear and trying to fit it all on the roof rack or within your vehicle. The last thing you want is another bulky item adding weight to your load and taking up valuable space and leg room. The beauty of the REDARC solar blanket is that it folds down to a tiny 36 x 36 x 8cm compact bundle. You’ll barely notice that it’s in there, but it’ll make all the difference to your experience once you’ve got a power source on the road.
Will my adventure be too rough?
Your gear needs to be as tough as the terrain, which is why the REDARC’s solar blanket is made from heavy duty canvas and covered in an anti-reflective and scratch resistant ethylene tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) coating. This construction is what makes these bad boys extremely durable and reliable for those off-road conditions that sometimes turn out a little rougher than first anticipated.
What else do I need?
If you really want to harness your off-grid capability, as well as stay away from the city on your adventure as long as possible, couple your blanket with REDARC’s GoBlock. This powerhouse bundle will enable you the freedom to go further and stay longer, which is always the best case scenario.
You have the choice between a 160W, 240W or 300W Monocrystalline Solar Blanket from REDARC, ranging from $795 to $1,820. There’s also the option of purchasing the blanket along with a kit that includes 20A solar regulator and a 5m Anderson cable.
