THE POWER BILL
The downside of buying into solar blanket
technology is the cost – it’s considerable. Of
the three tiers of current solar tech starting with
fixed solar panels, followed by portable folding
solar panels (which use the same technology),
and finally solar blankets, the fixed system is
cheapest.
A typical high quality fixed 150W panel retails for
around $500, while a comparable fold-out panel will
cost around $600. An entry level solar blanket of
115W, meanwhile, will cost about $1200. A 190W
solar blanket will run you over $2000.
However, the solar blanket option is arguably
best in terms of portability, usability, ease of
storage, weight and, potentially, longevity.
Store a blanket properly, keep it safe and clean,
and the word is you could expect a 10 to 20-year
lifespan out of a quality product.
