This group buy is for the Off Grid Trek 200W & 120W Solar Blankets and any of the Cabling for these two Solar Blankets, the 28W Foldable Solar Panel is included as well.

What is the Off Grid Trek Solar Blanket:

Lightweight alternative to a traditional solar panel, that can be draped or hung however needed to absorb sunlight converting to power at the highest efficiency rate available 23.5%, much of the cheaper solar products on the market are only 15% - 18%, being they are inexpensive to manufacture. These have been designed based off of the Redarc & Powerfilm Solar Blankets at a more reasonable cost. 120W is 7.9lbs, 200W is 13.6lbs, both fold up to the size of a laptop, for added space savings and quicker charging times even in cloudy conditions.

Some Technical Stuff:

1. SunPower Gen 2 Maxeon cells are used which allow for the most absorption of energy in direct sunlight or the shade, making their charging abilities greater than other solar cells available.

2. Can be used to Charge Goal Zero Yeti Power Stations with optional Anderson to 8mm DC connector.

3. Designed to be Portable, Lightweight & Efficient, includes reinforced grommets along the length and aluminum load bearing carabiners to secure the blanket.

4. Used for 12v Automotive, Marine, Recreational, Overland & Emergency Preparedness.

5. Voltage regulator on back including 2 USB ports, one DC18V output with 20cm cable and Anderson connector.

6. High Power Output, compared to traditional heavy/bulky glass folding panels.

7. Genuine Industry Standard Anderson connectors used.

8. ETFE Integrated Laminated Solar Blanket which is Anti-Reflective, Scratch Resistant, Durable & Waterproof, giving the Solar Blanket a Rubberized Feel and offers much better absorption of energy from the sun.

9. Use with our optional 20 Amp Solar Regulator Cable Value Pack and have total of 4 USB charging ports along with 12V charging, Efficiently charge multiple devices at once.

If you are on the fence to see if it’ll go up to max discount before you jump in, you are HOLDING the group buy back. Don’t be that person.

Are you plugging your fridge directly with the solar panels? That's what I would use the solar panels for and probably to charge mylaptop/cell.

Depending on how I am set up, the fridge is plugged into the rear seat CLA, or the Yeti 400 power station. And either solar panel can charge either my group 31 battery or Yeti 400, or both with a splitter which is also offered.

Is there any reviews out for the 28w? didn't see anything searching online. Also do you have a shop in Calgary as I live in the area and wouldn't mind checking them out.

Everything arrives in about a week, I have been testing several prototypes for several months now and am happy with the results after tweeking them a bit. These are new to market and I had them designed based on where I thought a better option could be offered, so there will not be any reviews yet. When they arrive we can set up a time if you would like to see them in person, the quality will speak for itself. I am very happy with how they operate in all ranges of temperatures and weather from winter until now.

If you are looking on the website, it is in Canadian dollars, so if you are paying in US dollars it would be approximately 30% less give or take.

That's awesome, maybe I can do a quick review too. Is that box on the back a charge controller built in? MPPT/PWM?

It is a smart controller that provides power for 2 USB devices and has a digital readout showing output voltage and current

So would probably need a controller on top of this if plugged into the battery if i understand that right.

Edit: Is it an Anderson plug on the back of the 28w one too?

Only the 120W and 200W have an Anderson connector, they like the 28W one have 2 USB charging ports. Only the 28W one has the digital display showing Voltage and current.

Last weekend,120W solar blanket charging/topping up the 2 batteries in the trailer, 75L dometic fridge/freezer kept everything at the perfect temp. Several USB devices continually charging from the 3.1 amp high speed charging ports, plus the option of running the pump for hot water on demand or shower when needed. Because of the efficiency of these, I can stay out as long as I want.
