What is a Solar Blanket?
A solar blanket, a portable or foldable solar panel, is a compact, lightweight device that converts sunlight into electricity. It consists of several solar cells connected by wires and covered with a protective layer.
With a charge controller that regulates the power output, the Solar Blanket can safely power your electronics without the risk of overcharging or overvoltage. Solar Blankets come in a variety of sizes and wattages, from 10W to 200W, and they can be folded or rolled up for easy storage.
They are extremely popular and are one of the most portable power sources to pack while camping, hiking, boating and other outdoor activities.
Can you rely on Solar Blankets?
Yes, Solar Blankets are reliable and offer excellent durability and quality, provided they are made from high-quality materials and can withstand the harsh outdoor conditions. At BougeRV, we offer durable and lightweight CIGS solar blanketsthat never break and perform excellently even in low light conditions. This proves to be very valuable for baking or camping in the woods.
And solar blankets are user-friendly compared to solar panels when you consider the setup time. Therefore, solar blankets are a worthwhile investment for frequent campers who value weight and space.
How do solar blankets work when camping?
Solar blankets capture sunlight and convert it into usable energy using a charge controller or regulator. The controller is then connected to a battery to keep it charged.
The energy generated can be used to power various camping equipment such as lamps, smartphones, tablets, cameras, fans and portable refrigerators Solar Blankets are portable and easy to set up, making them an excellent alternative to traditional generators or batteries and an ideal solution for camping.
