SOLAR BLANKET FAQ
WHAT IS A SOLAR BLANKET?
A solar power blanket is a portable and flexible solar panel that captures energy from the sun. It's lightweight and easy to carry around. The solar cells inside the blanket capture the sunlight and turn it into usable electricity. You can use this electricity to charge batteries or power your gadgets when you're outdoors or away from regular power sources. Solar blankets are great for camping, hiking, and other outdoor activities, giving you a convenient and eco-friendly way to get energy from the sun wherever you are.
ARE SOLAR BLANKETS WORTH IT?
Solar power blankets are a convenient option for adventurers on the go, as they’re portable, more durable than normal panels and also work as a great backup or extra panel when required.
WHAT SIZE SOLAR BLANKET DO I NEED TO RUN A FRIDGE?
To power a 40-50L fridge, you'll need a solar power blanket with a minimum capacity of 112 watts. This will provide the necessary energy to run the fridge efficiently.
HOW LONG DOES A 200W SOLAR BLANKET TAKE TO CHARGE A BATTERY?
This will depend on the type of battery you’re looking to charge. However, depending on the batteries state of charge, as a guideline a 200w solar blanket will generally take around 5-8 hours to fully charge a 12 volt battery.
WHAT CAN A 200W SOLAR BLANKET RUN?
A 200w camping solar panel is capable of running many appliances, including:
- Laptops
- Mobile phones
- Medical equipment
- Small fridge
- Coffee maker
- TV
- Radio
- LED lights
SHOULD A SOLAR BLANKET BE LEFT ON ALL THE TIME?
Providing the solar blankets are not used in extreme weather such as strong wind and heavy rain/hailstorms, it’s safe to use your solar blanket throughout the day during sunlight hours. It is recommended practice, once the sun has gone down and the solar blanket has cooled, to fold up and put away overnight.
WHERE SHOULD I PLACE MY SOLAR BLANKET FOR CAMPING?
We recommend aligning your solar blanket directly in line with the sun, otherwise it won't work as efficiently as it should.
