9 SOLAR BLANKET SETUP

REDARC Amorphous and SunPower

Cell solar blankets features reinforced eyelets at the four

corners and sides of the panel to allow for various mounting options. These panels can also

be setup across your vehicle, caravan or tent and can be used to provide shade as well as

performing their power generating function.

9.2 FUSE PROTECTION

Fuse protection is required for wire and component protection in case of short circuit.

Fuses are to be ﬁ tted as close as possible to the battery positive terminal.

REDARC recommend using MIDI style bolt down fuses as they ensure a low resistance

connection. The REDARC FK40 and FK60 fuse kits are recommended.

Blade type fuses are not recommended as they can result in high resistance connection

which causes excess heat and may damage the fuse holder and/or the wiring. Self-

resetting circuit breakers are not recommended as they may trip prematurely due to the

heat generated by the current ﬂ owing through the wires.
