Embrace the freedom of the great outdoors without sacrificing power. Discover reliable, off-grid energy with Outbax's range of high-quality 12V solar panels, perfect for your Australian adventures. As specialists in outdoor power equipment, Outbax understands the need for dependable energy solutions, especially for caravanning and camping.
We offer robust 12V solar panels designed to keep your essential appliances running and your deep-cycle batteries charged when you're off the beaten track. Choose from efficient fixed panels or ultra-portable solar blankets that adapt to your specific outdoor power needs.
Why Power Your Adventures with 12V Solar?
Whether you're exploring remote campsites, touring in your caravan, or kitting out your 4WD, a reliable power source is crucial. Our 12V solar panels provide a clean, quiet, and cost-effective way to generate electricity wherever the sun shines. Take advantage of renewable solar energy for an eco-friendly portable power solution that ensures off-grid independence, allowing you to power lights, fridges, phones, and more. It’s the ideal solution for any camping solar setup or caravan solar power system.
Having 12V solar panels helps with battery maintenance, as it provides a safe charging method for 12V deep cycle batteries (like AGM, Gel, or Lithium LiFePO4). It ensures reliable power is readily available while extending their lifespan at the same time. 12V solar panels also reduce reliance on noisy generators and fuel expenses, making them a smart investment for frequent outdoor enthusiasts.
Explore Outbax's Range of 12V Solar Panels
We cater to diverse needs with different types of 12V solar panels, all utilising high-efficiency monocrystalline solar cells for maximum output even in variable Australian conditions. Our fixed 12V solar panels are ideal for permanent or semi-permanent mounting on caravans, sheds, or vehicles. Available in various wattages (100W, 130W, 160W, & 200W), these panels offer excellent value and durability for long-term outdoor power generation.
For those prioritising mobility, our portable 12V solar blankets & mats represent the ultimate portable 12V solar panel kit solution. These folding 12V solar panels are lightweight, compact, and incredibly easy to set up and store, making them perfect for campers and 4WD enthusiasts needing quick deployment. Most of our portable options come complete with necessary cables and Anderson plugs, ensuring you can start generating power immediately upon arrival at your destination.
Choosing the Right 12V Solar Panel for Your Needs
Selecting the best 12V solar panel for charging batteries depends on your power consumption, available space, and portability requirements. When determining the appropriate wattage, consider what appliances you need to run and the size of your battery bank–higher-wattage panels naturally provide more power for energy-intensive setups. Portability is another crucial factor; if you move campsites frequently, a 12V solar blanket for caravan or camping offers unmatched convenience, while fixed panels excel in set installations where maximum power generation is the priority.
In terms of efficiency, monocrystalline panels generally provide better performance, especially in lower light conditions common in Australia during early morning or late afternoon. At Outbax, we only offer high-efficiency monocrystalline solar panels to ensure maximum performance with every use. You'll also need a solar charge controller to safely regulate the power going into your battery, so check product descriptions for included accessories to ensure you have everything needed for a complete solar charging system.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size 12V solar panel do I need for camping or my caravan?
This depends on your energy usage (fridges, lights, devices). A common starting point is 150W-250W for basic needs, potentially more (300W-400W+) for larger setups or longer off-grid periods. Assess your appliance power draw to determine your specific requirements.
Can a 12V solar panel directly charge a 12V battery?
While technically possible, it's highly recommended not to. Always use a solar charge controller (regulator) between the panel and the battery to prevent overcharging and damage that could significantly shorten the battery lifespan.
Are 12V solar blankets better than fixed panels for portability?
Yes, solar blankets/mats fold down much smaller and are significantly lighter, making them superior for portability and storage in vehicles or tents. They're ideal for travellers who prioritise space efficiency and quick setup.
What accessories are needed with a 12V solar panel?
A solar charge controller is essential. You'll also need appropriate cabling (often included with portable kits), connectors (like Anderson plugs), and potentially mounting hardware for fixed panels. Outbax kits typically include everything required for immediate use.
