Solar Blankets have arrived

Shipment of Solar Blankets have arrived, laid them out on the 4Runner to give a perspective on size, 200W is on the windshield, 120W on the hood, 28W is the orange smallest one. The most efficient/durable/lightweight/portable solar products I have used, am very happy with them.

I picked up a 120w. I couldn't wait for the group buy. But I will tell you that I am very impressed with it. The quality is super and the cables are heavy duty.

Trying to add a pic....

BC Overland Rally was a success, helped a few booths out with charging from our 120W Solar Blankets. CVT & adventure trucks as an example were testing a solar blanket from Australia they were planning to resell, it could not keep up with the fridge after 2 days, we offered ours and. Brought the battery back to life while powering the fridge and all USB devices with an extra 4 High Speed USB Charging Ports, all within 8 hrs. Just found out we will be in several online publications and a written publication for our new products. Gotta say pretty happy we can offer a great product at a reasonable price point. Am all about win/win and most companies do not seem to get that nowadays, where profit is the most important thing, compared with customer satisfaction.





Last pic is mine, looking forward to getting the dual swing out from Pelfreybilt, to complete, ahem maybe complete this build. The 200W on mine was charging my group 31 battery and 2 of the trailers with each having a 75L Dometic fridge/freezer powering as well.

If you are wanting to see or purchase any of the 3 solar/blanket/panels sizes that I offer, I have them in Calgary, send me a private message and I can give you my phone number.

Have you ever considered stocking Inergy Kodiak Swede71? These blankets look skookum and good Canadian sources for this stuff are gold. Thanks

Forgive my ignorance, I know nothing about solar. Do you need a solar generator or battery to be able to use the solar blanket or can you plug your device (phone, laptop, ipad, fridge, ect.) directly into the solar blanket and charge them or use them?

Our 200W & 120W Solar Blankets both have two 2.4A high speed USB charging ports on the back of the panel to directly charge USB devices. They also have a standard Anderson connector with optional cables that can be connected to a Goal Zero cable for charging larger Goal Zero Yeti portable power stations that can charge all the rest you have mentioned. Or be connected to a solar charge controller to charge 12/24V batteries directly like your vehicle battery which can then be charging everything you listed above.

This picture below shows the 200W Solar Blanket directly charging 2 Goal Zero Venture 70 power banks, and it was charging the 12V battery in the Off-Road trailer that had a 75L Dometic fridge/freezer running at the time.

thanks for the quick reply and explanation. These are more powerful than I thought they were. I may be interested in the 120W after I get caught up on some other things I have to take care of. Thanks

Our 200W Solar Blanket takes up very little space at 13.6lbs, the size of a laptop & can easily drape to absorb the most sunlight. Easily charges the 2 Group C Deep Cycle Odyssey batteries with Genesis Offroad dual battery kit, 42L Snowmaster Fridge, 3 devices anytime & stereo, with this set-up
