PSB150Intended use
4Intended use
The portable solar blanket is a mobile power supply with a solar charge controller for
charging a 12 Vg battery.
5Technical description
The portable solar blanket consists of lightweight solar cells with anti-reflective,
scratch-resistant ETFE coating. The solar charge controller stored in a bag of the blanket can be used to charge a 12 Vg battery.
The solar charge controller ensures that the power supplied by the solar blanket is at
the right voltage to charge a home or auxiliary battery. The solar charge controller is
an intelligent 5 stage PWM solar controller.
Solar charge controller
The solar charge controller has the following functions:
•
PWM controlled
•
Five stage charging (Soft, Bulk, Absorption, Equalization, Float)
•
Battery types selectable: LiFePO4, LTO, GEL, AGM, WET or CALCIUM
•
LCD display dynamically displaying operating data and working condition
Additional protective functions of the solar charge controller:
•
Incorrect polarity protections for battery
•
Over voltage protection for battery
•
Over heating protection for battery
•
Battery over-discharge protection
•
Under charge protection for battery
•
Over charge protection for battery
•
Short circuit protection
•
Prevents discharge at night under low light or no light condition
Battery temperature sensor
The battery temperature sensor allows the solar charge controller to continuously
adjust charge voltage based on measured battery temperature. Temperature compensation of charge voltage assures that the battery receives the proper charge voltage as battery temperature changes during normal operation.

6.1Positioning the solar blanket
Eyelets on four corners and sides of the portable solar kit provide different mounting
options. This solar blanket can be mounted on a vehicle, caravan or tent to provide
shade and provide power generation as well. It is recommended to place the solar
blanket north at 20 to 40 degree, which can provide the maximum power no matter
at any season.
Make sure that the solar blanket is always clean and dry (chapter “Maintaining and cleaning the product” on page 17).
➤ Locate a clear area free from over hanging branches or obstructions.
➤ Remove the solar blanket from the carry bag.
➤ Lay the solar blanket on the mounting location. Fix the solar blanket at the eyelets.

The unit has a 5-stage charging algorithm.
•
Soft Charge (1):
When batteries had an over-discharge, the controller will softly ramp the battery
voltage up to 10 V.
•
Bulk Charge (2):
Maximum current charging until battery rises to Absorption charge.
•
Absorption Charge (3):
Constant voltage charging until battery is over 85%.
14
EN
PSB150Using the solar blanket
•
Equalization Charge (4):
Only for WET battery or CALCIUM battery type. When the battery is deeply
drained below 10 V, it will automatically run this stage to bring the internal cells
as an equal state and fully complement the loss of capacity.
•
Float Charge (5):
Battery is fully charged and maintained at a safe level.
A fully charged lead acid battery (GEL, AGM, WET battery) has a voltage of more
than 13.6 V. A fully charged LiFePO4 or LTO battery has a voltage of 13.4 V.
