4WD Solar Panels

A friend of mine is very much into four wheel driving, and often goes away for long weekends to the middle of nowhere. She recently bought a new power source to run various devices, including charging her laptop so she can still achieve the seemingly mandatory Facebook updates.

The device I speak of is a very nifty portable solar power panel. The REDARC SAF1027 model is so portable, it even folds up, so it is ideal for use as 4WD solar panels to take anywhere.

According to REDARC, their thin film amorphous solar modules offer the latest in solar technology in a light weight, conveniently sized package.

They are designed to provide high efficiency, particularly at high ambient temperatures, and are backed with vinyl to protect against wear and tear.

This makes them suitable for off-road and outback conditions, as in my friend's case. Even better, they are completely flexible and are designed to lay completely flat for easy storage, so packing them away when not in use is a breeze.

The benefits are that they are compact, lightweight, easy to setup, and have a high performing power output. Also, if you need more power down the track, you can simply buy another module and add it on to increase the output.

The REDARC 4WD solar panel product features

• Upgrade power output by linking panels together
• Flexible design
• Tough canvas backing material
• two year structural warranty
