What Solar Setup is Best for You?

March 18, 2021 by On The Road Team Leave a Comment

Adding solar to your camping or touring set up is essential if you’re keen to get off-grid and spend more time adventuring. Choosing the right solar solution can be overwhelming, but it doesn’t need to be! REDARC, renowned for their battery management and charging solutions, have a range of solar options to suit every need, from the weekend warrior to the seasoned adventurer. 

For those travelling only a few times a year and your priorities are ease of use, value, and flexibility; portable folding solar panels are a great option. REDARC’s next generation folding solar panels offer a small, ultra-lightweight solution, making them quick and easy to set up and pack down. They’re up to 50% lighter than other popular panels on the market and available in 120w and 200w options. Due to their high portability, they’re quick to move so you can make the most of patchy sunlight.  

If you’re living in your van or car, then space is at a premium. With this in mind, solar blankets are the way to go. They offer the ultimate in flexibility and convenience. REDARC’s SunPower solar blankets can be folded up into a neat package and offer flexibility that’s not available with fixed or folding panels; they can be draped over the bonnet or windscreen, laid on the ground or hung off the side of your awning. No matter where the sun is coming from, REDARC’s SunPower solar blankets have you covered. When it’s time to hit the road, just fold it up and slide it under the car seat.  

For the seasoned adventurer or self-confessed grey nomad who plans to travel for longer periods of time, you might be looking for a permanent, no fuss solution. Fixed panels will be the best option, especially for caravans and camper trailers, while also being the most cost-effective option. REDARC’s fixed solar panels offer simplicity. Being fixed to either your car, camper trailer, or caravan means you never have to worry about adjusting the angle, positioning, or setting up. REDARC’s fixed solar panels are available in range of sizes from 50w to 180w, offering plenty of flexibility when finding the setup to fit your roof.  

REDARC’s solar options are best coupled with their market leading battery management systems and in-vehicle BCDC chargers. Both offer built in MPPT solar regulators and Green Power Priority, meaning it will prioritise your solar power first, so you can get the most out of your setup.
