It is the sensible middle size for overlanders and off-road trailers where every litre of storage is already spoken for.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy This Product\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo hundred watts is the size most people actually need. It is enough to carry a compressor fridge, lights, a water pump and device charging through a normal day in decent sun, without the bulk and cost of a 400W array. In blanket form it stops competing with your gear for space, which is the real reason people choose a blanket over a rigid suitcase. On a long trip through Namaqualand, the Kalahari or up into Namibia, the panel that gets used is the one that is easy to get out and easy to put away. The trade-off is straightforward: no support legs, so you prop or lay it, and it wants a bit more care about abrasion. In exchange you get real solar harvest from something you can slide behind a seat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e200W flexible folding array\u003c\/strong\u003e – enough to carry a typical fridge-and-lights load in good sun.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePacks flat\u003c\/strong\u003e – stows in gaps a framed panel cannot use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight for its output\u003c\/strong\u003e – easy on payload, easy to carry to where the sun is.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDurable fabric backing\u003c\/strong\u003e – built for repeated folding and outdoor deployment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLay it anywhere\u003c\/strong\u003e – bonnet, roof, rack, rock or ground.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNo vehicle modification\u003c\/strong\u003e – nothing drilled, nothing permanent.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIdeal For\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverlanding and long remote trips where storage space is tight.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOff-road trailers and teardrops with modest roof area.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRooftop tent setups with no usable panel space.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBush camping where the battery needs a genuine daily top-up.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupplementing an existing roof array on shaded or overcast days.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLocal Support from 4Matt Campers\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e4Matt Campers fits and supports Renogy systems throughout \u003cstrong\u003eCape Town\u003c\/strong\u003e.

Because a blanket has no legs, plan how you will angle it: guy lines to a rack, a camp chair, or a north-facing slope all work well. Look after the surface. Do not drag it over gravel, never stand on it, and vary where you fold it rather than creasing the same line every time. Carry a decent MC4 extension lead in properly sized cable so you can put the blanket in full sun while the vehicle stays in shade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eComplete Your Setup\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompare it against the rigid suitcases and fixed panels in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/solar-panels\"\u003esolar panels\u003c\/a\u003e range, and pick a matched unit from our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/solar-charge-controllers\"\u003esolar charge controllers\u003c\/a\u003e collection.
