Overland Expo | Hard Korr Flexible Folding Solar Mat

November 16, 2018 by Erik Meisner Leave a Comment

Solar Mat

I recently reviewed a couple of products from Hard Korr lighting. A flexible LED strip that we use to light our Tepui roof top tent and awning. As well as the multi-purpose UNI Light. Both items are high-quality kit and have become a permanent fixture in our Overland set-up. We recently traveled 850 miles south to Reeb Ranch, the location of Overland Expo East, where I was fortunate enough to catch up with Martin O’Grady of Hard Korr Lighting. The video below covers the basics of Hard Korr’s Flexible Folding Solar Mats. A necessity for Overland travel and camping.

As my wife and I continue to refine our Overland Rig, we see the need to transition from conventional ice coolers to a Dometic Electric Cooler. Allowing us to extend our travel off the grid and not rely on ice to keep food and beverages cool. But everything is a compromise. And with the addition of an electric cooler comes the need for additional power. Like an additional battery along with a means to keep it charged. That is where Hard Korr comes in with a powerful yet compact folding 150W solar mat. One more item to add to my constantly growing list. Stay tuned…
