Getting Started

**BEFORE YOU START : See the “Safety Information” section for important precautions. The user should conform to all safety precautions in the guide when using solar panels. Before using a solar photovoltaic system (including cable, power station, or other electric equipment), the user should be familiar with the mechanical and electrical requirements for photovoltaic systems. Keep this guide in a safe place for future reference.
Operation and Use
The DURACELL® Portable Solar Panel converts solar energy to DC current for charging gasless generators that run popular household items and electronics. The solar panel connects directly to your DURACELL® Gasless Generator for simple, plug-and-play ease of use (also connects to additional rechargeable products that use an MC4 and/or Anderson cable connection for recharging the internal battery).
NOTE:** The steps below show the basic sequence to charge your gasless generator. You may also keep your DURACELL® Portable Solar Panel connected to your gasless generator while the generator is being used to charge and operate your household items. Solar input power will offset the discharge power.

Connecting Additional Solar Panels

Two or more solar panels (additional panels sold separately) can be chained together using the MC4 connectors to increase the wattage (parallel connection) or to increase the charge voltage (series connection). You may need additional connectors to complete the connection.
IMPORTANT: CHECK VOLTAGE/POWER RATINGS
Please check the voltage and power ratings of the solar controller to determine the most efficient connection method (shown below). Please call our customer service number at 800-300-1857 for support or questions.
WARNING: RISK OF INJURY
Panel interconnection cables pass direct current (DC) and are sources of voltage when the panel is under load and when it is exposed to light. Direct current can arc across gaps and may cause injury or death if improper connection or disconnection is made; or if contact is made with module leads that are frayed or torn. Do not connect or disconnect modules when a current source is energizing the conductors. Modules may contain high voltage when interconnected with other modules.

Safety Information

This section contains important safety information. Before using the product, READ ALL instructions and cautionary markings on or provided with the product, and all appropriate sections of this guide.
The product contains no user-serviceable parts. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

WARNING: NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS
There are no user-serviceable parts within the module. Do not attempt to repair any part of the module.
WARNING: RISK OF INJURY

• Permanent installation should be performed only by qualified personnel.
• There is a risk of electric shock if the front glass is broken, the backing is torn, the junction box is broken or wires are frayed.
• Do not deploy or handle the panels when they are wet or during periods of high winds.
• Do not allow water to pool in or near panel frames.

WARNING: DAMAGE TO PRODUCT

• Do not stand on, drop, scratch, or allow objects to fall on panels as doing so may damage the panels and void the warranty.
• Do not place anything on the modules, even for a moment, because the resulting residue may damage or stain the glass surface.
• Unconnected connectors must always be protected from dust, humidity, or foreign particles.

Maintenance

In order to keep your DURACELL® Portable Solar Panel operating efficiently, periodically clean and maintain your panel using the simple steps below. Keeping the panels clean allows optimal sun exposure for efficient charging of your gasless generator.
WARNING: DAMAGE TO SOLAR PANEL
Do not clean the panel when the surface is hot to avoid cracking the glass surface. Do not use a pressure washer to clean the panel. Failure to observe these warnings may result in damage to the panel and void your warranty.

• Clean the surface of the solar panel when necessary. Always use a soft sponge or cloth for cleaning. A mild, non-abrasive cleaning detergent may be used to remove stubborn dirt.
• Clean your solar panel more frequently during drier months, as it may become covered in the dust more quickly.
• Regularly inspect and clean your panel frequently if the panel is left outdoors in dusty, windy, or dirty conditions.
• Periodically inspect additional components such as folding support legs, frames, cables, and closures for dirt, grit, oil, and other contaminants; clean as needed.
