SITE SELECTION AND ASSEMBLY

All models
Note:
A steady supply of sunlight to the solar modules is absolutely essential for consistent power generation and thus for charging or operating a connected device. An interruption due to shadowing or similar can lead to an interruption in power generation.

Open the panel bag (Fig. 2, 1) and unfold it so that the solar modules (Fig. 2, 3) point upwards.
Select a location for the solar panels where they will receive direct and continuous sunlight. Through the eyelets (Fig. 2, 4), the panel bag can be secured with the snap hooks (Fig. 1, D) and must be fixed in a suitable place if necessary.
The solar panel is ready for use.

CONNECTING DEVICES

CAUTION!
Before connecting an end device (smartphone, tablet, power bank, etc.) to the solar panel, make sure that it is suitable for connection. For more information, please refer to the user manual of the corresponding terminal device. The manufacturer accepts no responsibility for damage resulting from improper handling and/or the use of unsuitable connections.
Protect the terminal device connected to the solar panel from direct sunlight to avoid damage.
Place it, for example, under the solar panel or in a separate bag, preferably in the shade.
Note:
As soon as a terminal device is connected and supplied with power by the solar panel, the function light is illuminated.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ) & SOLUTIONS

1. What can be charged/operated with the solar panel?****

– End devices with USB or DC connection such as smartphones, tablets, GPS trackers as well as portable power banks or power stations. The basic prerequisite is the suitability for the connection to a solar panel with the corresponding power.

2. Is the solar panel waterproof?****

– The solar panel is splash-proof.
– Never immerse the solar panel into the water and do not leave it outdoors in extremely damp or wet and cold weather – especially not in frost, snow, rain, or similar!

3. If my terminal requires a current of 1A, can it be damaged by the applied current of 2A of the solar panel?****

– No. The solar panel has intelligent charging technology that detects the needs of your end device and delivers only the required current. For example, if your smartphone requires 1A, only 1A will be delivered.

4. What can I do if my terminal is not charging from the solar panel?****

– Consult the user manual of your terminal device to find out whether the applied current voltage is supported or sufficient. 5V (USB) or 12V~18V (DC).
– A cloudy sky and indirect sunlight can affect the flow of current, which in turn interrupts the charging process. Place the solar panel in direct sunlight or wait for a cloudless sky.
– Clean the solar modules. Be sure to follow the instructions under “Cleaning and Maintenance” to avoid damage.
– Keep fire, water, and chemicals away from the solar panel.

5. Does the solar panel work under partly cloudy skies or in partial shade?****

– Yes, but this affects the efficiency and duration of the charging process.

6. Can the solar panel be used to charge a power bank?

– Yes. When charging the power bank, make sure it is protected from direct sunlight to avoid damage.
