Portable solar that’ll give you peace of mind.
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 15.2A 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.

Braden Cresswell –
Excellent product. I purchased this from BCF, and although I paid full price – I think it is very competitively priced compared to other equivalents on the market.
After only a couple of hours in full WA sun, it charges my lithium 120AH battery to full while I am also running a 45L fridge from it continuously. I’ve only got a 25A DCDC charger so it also helps on days when drive days are short. It has already paid for itself on days when I’m not driving at all, as I don’t have to pay for a ridiculously overpriced caravan park spot to hook up to a powered site. Not that I even have that capability – I bought this so I’m fully self sufficient and don’t need to even think about help from 240v.
To summarise, I’d buy again in a heartbeat. Cheers Hardkorr!!!
