Efficient, well made and good value.
"I bought this to replace a similar VoltX blanket. Build quality is good: neat stitching, straight panel alignment, solid connectors, and a generally tidy, robust feel. Electrical testing was done in near ideal conditions – full sun at local noon, clear sky, ~30 °C ambient, and the blanket set about 3° off axis. Measurements were taken using the supplied 4. 5 m cable. Initial max output before the blanket got hot was 138 W at 8. 5 A, with a maximum current of 9. 0 A (the relevant figure for PWM). Once hot, the max output was 130 W at 8. 7 A, again with 9. 0 A max available current. These are pretty good figures for a 160 W blanket in real world conditions. If you allow for the poor cable (see below), the output from the blanket itself was 152W, not far off its specification. This performance is roughly on par with the VoltX 160 W blanket, probably somewhat better. Physically, I prefer the VoltX’s single row layout, but I guess I’ll get used to setting up the 2x3 panel blanket soon enough. It should sit nicely over the vehicle bonnet. It also has loops that allow attaching it to supports. It is slightly larger and heavier than the VoltX. The accessories are ok but basic which is probably not an issue for most people who will use their own regulator and cable. The MPPT regulator works as designed but like other low cost units it hunts too often and too slowly, interrupting output whenever conditions change. A PWM regulator might be a better match here because the blanket’s operating voltage is close to battery voltage, giving stable 9 A without the MPPT’s constant searching. While the regulator was able to deliver 120 W and up to 10. 4 A at lower battery voltages, its average output will not beat PWM, and it will be noticeably worse in changing light conditions (moving clouds). The supplied cable was a disappointment. It’s well made and looks impressive but is electrically undersized. I measured 187 mΩ round trip on the 4. 5 m lead (i. e. about 18 AWG), causing a 1. 7 V drop and 17 - 19 W power loss at full output -- more than 10% of the blanket’s rated power. It’s disappointing that the efficiency gained from using hi-tech HPBC panels is cancelled almost exactly by this low-tech economic saving. The cable is so small that it is not even rated to carry 9 or 10 amps in likely temperature conditions. If you do use this cable, the high losses also mean that the regulator should be placed at the battery end of the cable to avoid the additional problem of premature charge tapering. Overall: Good value for money. It’s efficient, tidy, and robust and a good fit for my intended use. The beautiful looking but badly undersized cable is an unnecessary failing, and I don’t recommend using it."
Good quality solar blanket -
"Good quality solar blanket - took it out prospecting to add to my 150W fixed panel and it performed well - easily producing 125W's and I'm sure more although I wasn't constantly monitoring. Be good if it was supplied with a Bluetooth MPPT to track input - I'm sure that's available on higher end MPPT's (my Victron has it) but really should be standard. Very sturdy construction and packs really well. Really happy with the product."
perfect. really solid build quality.

San Hima 160w Solar Blanket
"I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the product when I unpacked it. It is well made, and well thought out, with the solar controller and assiciated cables neatly stored in a pocket of the solar blanket. The blanket was still generating a reasonable amount of power even under overcast conditions."
Light weight and easy to use.
"Super fast delivery time. Light weight and easy to use. Also for storage, it takes up very little space. Will I be buying more. Already did and will again :)"
