Kedron boosts solar panel efficiency
Trick new solar panel platform makes Queensland caravans even more bush battle-readyQueensland off-road specialist Kedron has ripped the wraps off its latest innovation, a unique rooftop solar panel mounting system that's designed to make the Queensland-built heavy-duty caravans even better suited to remote, off-grid travel.
One of a number of upgrades being rolled out across Kedron's 2021-updated models, the new 'ScrubPak' option includes a laser cut and powdercoated alloy top spoiler and solar panel side bracket mounting system with laser cut scallops that Kedron's Glen Gall says "allows the solar to work more efficiently (through improved ventilation) and allow more water run-off underneath".
Also part of the new ScrubPak kit is a front and rear composite alloy roof roll, two additional 80W solar panels, electric-powered entry steps, bolt-on alloy side protection bars, and new front scrub plates and higher Dibond side body protection with Rhino coating.
