Frequently Asked Questions
Are portable solar blankets as efficient as rigid panels?
Camping solar blankets typically produce 85-95% of the power rigid panels generate. The slight efficiency drop comes from a less rigid structure and thinner materials. However, because you can position portable camping solar blankets in full sun while your vehicle sits in shade, you often get better real-world results. Plus, you can angle them perfectly throughout the day. For most campers, the portability trade-off is absolutely worth the tiny efficiency difference.
Will constantly rolling and unrolling damage my solar blankets for camping?
Our range of quality camping solar blankets in Australia is designed for exactly this! They use flexible cells and protective layers that can withstand hundreds of roll cycles.
Outback SafeTrack Expert Tips:
- Roll them loosely rather than super tight.
- Avoid folding into sharp creases.
- Store them clean and dry between trips.
Can our camping solar blankets for sale be used in the rain?
Your portable solar blankets for camping are water-resistant, not waterproof. Light rain or morning dew won't hurt them, but don't leave them submerged or in heavy downpours. They'll still generate some power in light rain (clouds are the real killer, not water). Pack them away during storms to prevent damage. The electronics in junction boxes aren't fully sealed, so water can cause issues. Wipe them dry before rolling up.
How long do camping solar blankets take to charge my battery?
Charging time depends on your battery size, blanket wattage, and sunshine quality.
A 100W solar blanket camping setup generates roughly 5-6A in good sun. Charging a flat 100Ah battery takes 15-20 hours of quality sunlight. A 200W portable camping solar blanket cuts that roughly in half. Remember, you rarely fully flatten batteries, so top-up charging happens much faster, and bright sunny days charge way quicker than overcast conditions.
Do I need a special regulator for portable solar blankets for camping?
Camping solar blankets use the same regulators as rigid panels. Just make sure your regulator handles your blanket's wattage and has the right battery profile (lithium vs AGM). Most blanket kits include appropriate regulators already.
If you're adding blankets to an existing system with a regulator, check that it can handle the extra amperage. MPPT regulators squeeze more power from blankets than PWM types.
Can I walk on my camping solar blankets to reposition them?
Don't walk on your solar blankets for camping! The cells are relatively delicate, and foot pressure can crack them or create hotspots. Use the edges or handles to move them around. If you need to cross over, carefully step between cells rather than on them. One accidental step probably won't destroy them, but repeated foot traffic definitely will. Treat your portable solar blankets with care, and they'll last you years.
