The KickAss 60W DC Solar Blanket with USB-C is a compact, lightweight solar solution built for serious portability and real-world performance. Designed for campers, 4WDers, hikers and anyone chasing reliable power on the move, this blanket delivers impressive efficiency in a slim, compact form.

Advanced N-Type TOPCon Solar Technology

Powered by next-generation N-Type TOPCon solar cell technology, it captures more energy from the sun than standard P-PERC panels, delivering up to 25% higher conversion efficiency and 3 to 7% more usable power in the same conditions. Even when the weather turns cloudy or light levels drop, this blanket continues working, so you are not reliant on full sun to recharge. Another advantage of the N-Type TOPCon solar technology is that output power loss in high temperatures is greatly reduced, meaning your panels run efficiently in all weathers.

Ultra-Compact and Travel-Ready

Weighing just 1.9kg, this solar blanket is designed for easy transport and fast setup. It folds down small, fits neatly into the included carry bag, and takes up minimal space in your vehicle, caravan or backpack. Whether you are road tripping, hiking or setting up camp for the weekend, it is a simple and stress-free way to bring power with you.

Charge Devices Directly with Built-In USB-C

No extra controllers and no complicated setup. The integrated USB-C port allows you to plug compatible devices directly into the blanket and start charging immediately. Recharge phones, tablets, power banks and other USB-C devices straight from the solar blanket.

Built for the Outdoors

Designed to handle real adventure conditions, this blanket features IP67 waterproof protection to resist rain, splashes and dust. The premium ETFE coating adds durability by resisting heat, corrosion and environmental wear, helping ensure reliable long-term performance in harsh outdoor environments.

Flexible Mounting and Fast Setup

With pre-cut eyelets and two included carabiners, the solar blanket can be mounted in multiple locations such as vehicles, awnings, tents, roof racks or campsite setups. The flexible mounting options make it easy to reposition and follow the sun throughout the day.

Pack Up and Go

When it is time to move on, simply fold the blanket down and store it in the included carry bag. The bag keeps everything protected, organised and ready for your next destination.

The KickAss 60W DC Solar Blanket delivers a maximum power output of 60 watts via its DC5521 port and up to 18 watts through its USB-C QC3.0 port. It can charge phones, tablets, cameras, laptops, and compatible portable power packs simultaneously.
This solar blanket uses advanced TOPCon monocrystalline cells with up to 25% efficiency, ensuring reliable and consistent power even in less-than-ideal sunlight. Its dual outputs provide versatile charging options for a range of outdoor and off-grid devices.

The solar blanket features a DC5521 output rated up to 60W max and a USB-C QC3.0 port rated up to 18W max, compatible with most phones, tablets, laptops, and KickAss power packs like the KAPHUB-150 and KAPHUB-380.
Always check your device’s input requirements to ensure compatibility. The blanket must be connected via a suitable solar regulator when charging batteries, preventing damage and optimising performance.

Unfold the solar blanket to 1376 x 309 x 15 mm and secure it using the predrilled eyelets and included carabiners. Position it facing north in the Southern Hemisphere at an angle between 20° and 40° to the sun for optimal energy capture.
Regularly adjust the angle throughout the day to follow the sun’s path. Avoid shading the panel and place it on a stable surface or securely attach it to tents, vehicles, or backpacks for maximum efficiency.

The solar blanket is IP67 rated for dust and water resistance, with a durable ETFE coating that protects the TOPCon solar cells from harsh weather and corrosion. It operates safely between -10°C and +65°C.
For safety, never connect the panel directly to a battery and always use a compatible solar regulator. Keep the junction box dry and connect or disconnect in the shade to reduce electric shock risk, ensuring secure and reliable outdoor use.

Yes, the USB-C QC3.0 port provides up to 18W max output, suitable for charging phones, tablets, and smaller laptops that support USB-C charging. Charging starts automatically when sufficient sunlight is available.
For best results, avoid shading the panel and maintain a good angle to the sun. The USB-C port offers a convenient, direct charging option for your devices while on the move or off-grid.

The solar blanket weighs only 1.96kg and folds down compactly to 325 x 309 x 45 mm, making it easy to carry in backpacks, travel bags, or car trunks. It also includes a carry bag for protection during transport.
Its lightweight and compact design, combined with pre-cut eyelets and carabiner hooks, make it highly versatile and ideal for camping, hiking, and other outdoor adventures where portability and quick setup matter.

To maintain optimal performance, disconnect the solar blanket from all power sources before cleaning. Wipe the ETFE-coated surface gently with a soft cloth to remove dust or dirt without damaging the panel.
Regular cleaning ensures maximum sunlight absorption and prolongs the life of the solar cells. The durable ETFE coating also protects against environmental wear, so your solar blanket stays efficient and reliable over time.

Yes, multiple panels of the same model and rating can be connected in series, parallel, or series-parallel configurations, provided the combined open-circuit voltage (VOC) does not exceed your solar regulator’s limits.
This flexibility allows you to scale your solar setup for higher power needs while maintaining safe operation. Always use appropriately rated cables and compatible regulators to ensure efficient and reliable charging.
