Solar

Solar keeps fridges cold and batteries topped up when you are away from power for days at a time. This range covers portable solar blankets, flexible panels and fixed panels for canopies, caravans and camper setups.

We stock HardKorr solar blankets and panels alongside the REDARC solar blanket. Order online with Australia-wide shipping, or talk to our Burwood team about matching solar to your battery setup.

Choosing Solar for Camping and Touring

Start with what you need to run. A fridge, lights and phone charging draw a certain amount from your battery every day, and your solar needs to put that back plus a margin for cloudy weather. Bigger battery banks and longer stays justify more panel capacity.

Then choose a format. Solar blankets fold small, stow easily and can be moved to follow the sun through the day, while fixed panels mount permanently and work whenever light hits them. HardKorr covers blankets, portable panels and fixed panels in this range, with a REDARC solar blanket alongside, so you can mix formats to suit your setup.

Solar FAQs

Should I buy a solar blanket or a fixed panel?

Blankets suit campers who park in the shade and move the panel into the sun, and they pack away small. Fixed panels suit canopies and caravans where set and forget charging matters more.

What size solar do I need?

It comes down to your daily power draw, battery capacity and how long you stay off grid. Call our Burwood team on 03 9808 8966 with your setup and we will size it with you.

Do I need a solar regulator?

Batteries need a regulated charge, so a regulator sits somewhere between panel and battery. Some panels and blankets include one and others rely on your battery management gear, so check before you buy.
