This panel works under cloudy conditions as well as in the intense heat of the summer sun. The power loss due to extreme heat is lower than with other similar devices.

5. Use

Aim the front at the sun and make sure the device is not installed in the shade.
Tilt the solar panel at a suitable angle.
Connect the battery with the solar panel using the provided cable and battery clamps. Respect the polarity indications : black lead = negative (-), red lead = positive (+). Use the correct battery terminals!
