Easy Maintenance Tips To Keep Your Camping Solar Panel In Great Shape

The Adventure Kings 200W Solar Blanket is a cracking bit of gear that can easily harness the sun’s power and turn it into free energy when you’re camping. It’ll keep your battery topped up even when you’re running your fridge all day!

In full sun, this powerful solar blanket for camping can produce up to 16 amps of power every hour. That’s about 4 or 5 times what a fridge will use, meaning you can run your fridge, AND recharge your battery at the same time.

But what’s even better about the Adventure Kings 200W Solar Blanket, is when you’re packing up camp, it folds away so small that you can fit it in your drawers! Plus it’s light too, so it’s never a hassle to set it up or pack it away.

The Adventure Kings 200W Solar Blanket is incredibly powerful, yet packs up amazingly small too. It’s a must-have bit of camping gear this summer!

Here’s how to quickly and easily do a little maintenance on your Adventure Kings 160W or 250W Solar Panel to ensure it always works optimally. It’s easy to do, and perfect for a lazy afternoon at camp.

Adventure Kings Solar Panels for camping are essentially maintenance free. The only thing you’ll need to do every now and then, is give it a wipe over with a bit of warm soapy water mixed with a couple of drops of mild dishwashing liquid. Never use harsh chemicals or flammable liquids as this can damage your solar blanket.

This cleans off the dust that accumulates on the solar cells when the blanket is being used.

If you live near the sea or do a lot of coast camping, the terminals inside the quick-connect fittings that connect your portable solar panel kit may build up a little corrosion over time. If that’s the case, use two small flat-bladed screwdrivers to remove the cabling from the plastic housing. Ensure the solar panel is inside its bag so it doesn’t produce power while you work on it.

Push down on the retaining tang with one screwdriver, and use the other to wiggle the terminal free. Repeat for the positive and negative terminals on all connectors. Do not pull on the cabling as this can cause it to dislodge from the terminal.

Using steel wool or a scouring pad and a bit of penetrating spray, clean off the corrosion until the terminals are shiny. Refit them taking note of the red cable going to the side of the plastic housing with the Plus or Positive sign, and the black cable to the side with the Minus or Negative sign. Use a flat-blade screwdriver to push the fittings into place, and ensure they sit centered within each side of the housing. Run a small Phillips-head screwdriver over any screws on the legs and frame to give them a quick tighten up.

Finally, give the cabling a wipe-over and check for any cuts or nicks, repair if necessary and your Adventure Kings Solar Blanket or portable solar panel kit is ready for more faithful service!

Introducing the amazing Adventure Kings Semi Flexible Solar Panels – ultra-powerful, lightweight, durable and ideal for installing on top of a roofrack, canopy, hard-shell rooftop tent, toolbox or caravan.

Installing a solar panel on the roof of your rig means your auxiliary battery is always receiving charge – whether you’re at camp, driving around town, on the jobsite or anywhere. That means the ability to run your fridge 24/7 without ever turning it off!

The Adventure Kings Semi-Flexible Solar Panels are the latest in solar technology. They come in two sizes – 110W, and 160W – ready to install in a variety of ways.

The 110W camping solar panel measures in at is built incredibly tough too – with an ultra-durable EFTE coating that has a lifespan of up to 8-10 years, much longer than the cheap no-name flexible panels available from many online sellers which can break down and degrade in as little as a year.

Both size panels come with individual junction boxes – perfect for joining multiple solar panels together – and waterproof MC4 connectors. Run them into an optional Adventure Kings solar regulator, or straight into the solar input of your DC charger for ultra-easy battery charging.

They also feature clever bypass diodes, which means that even in part-shade they’re still incredibly efficient too.

With re-enforced eyelets on all four corners, they can be bolted or even cable-tied to cage roofracks for a super easy install. Or, watch our install video for more permanent ways to mount your new semi-flexible solar panel.
