Redarc 160 watt monocrystalline portable folding solar panel a big advantage of portable solar panels like solar blankets is that they are easy to set up and angle to chase the sun.
Redarc solar panel review.
Redarc gear is not cheap but as i ve found out over the years skimping on quality with products you rely on so heavily is false economy or worse a recipe for disaster.
We tested it by covering one panel 6 14 amps two panels 5 38 amps and three panels 1 85 amps.
The redarc 115w sunpower cell solar blanket is our go to item when we need solar power.
My advice is the total peace of mind redarc products offer is well worth the extra expense.
They are also designed with the rugged australian terrain in mind and are able to withstand australia s harsh conditions and extreme weather.
Fixed solar panels are great if you just want to set and forget.
Not to mention they re a fantastic alternative or addition to our portable solar panels.
Easy to install for anyone with the desire to to it yourself redarc have combined all there bcdc chargers into two units which is great the other being the 40amp variant.
Redarc s fixed solar panels are high quality monocrystalline solar panels designed to capture solar energy and keep your batteries charged throughout the day.
Solar blankets are very portable less fragile than normal panels can be packed much easier and work extremely well as a backup or extra panel as the conditions require it.
Manufactured with australia s extreme weather and harsh conditions in mind our fixed solar panels are strong and durable.
The redarc panel was the stand out for all the wrong reasons when the 115 watt sunpower black blanket monocrystalline recorded an almost total loss of amps when half covered by the cardboard down to 0 24.

They are also portable so you don t have to worry about shade and where you camp you can just move them into the sun.
Typical voltage input from our blanket.
To me that s the sign of a great product.
Long after the price is forgotten the quality remains and so it is with redarc australian made top shelf piece of kit.
