Getting Started

BEFORE YOU START: See “Safety Information” section for important precautions. Please conforms 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 – Connecting To Your Battery Generator
The Portable Solar Panel converts solar energy to DC current for charging Battery Generators that run popular household items and electronics. The solar panel connects directly to your Battery Generator for simple, plug-and-play ease of use (also connects to additional rechargeable products that use an Anderson Power pole 15/45 connector for rechurning’s the internal battery).

NOTE: The steps below show the basic sequence to charge your Battery Generator. You may also keep your Portable Solar Panel connected to your Battery Generator while the generator is being used to charge and operate your household items. Solar input power will offset the discharge power (See “Optimizing Your Solar Charging” on the next page).

NEED MORE POWER?
Please see “Connecting Additional Solar Panels” on next page.

Connecting Additional Solar Panels

Two solar panels (additional panels sold separately) can be chained together using an Anderson combiner cable (sold separately) to increase the wattage (parallel connection) and charge faster.

IMPORTANT: CHECK VOLTAGE/POWER RATINGS
Please check the voltage and power ratings of the solar controller to detinning the most efficient connection method. Please call our Customer Service number at 888-617-5884 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 ii is exposed to light. Direct current can arc across gaps and may cause injury or death H improper connection or disconnection is made; or if contact is made with module leads that are frayed or torn. Oo not connect or disconnect modules when a current source is energizing the conductors. Modules may contain high voltage when interconnected with other modules.

Optimizing Your Solar Charging

To obtain the fastest charge time, position your solar panel where it will receive the maximum exposure to direct sunlight. If the solar panel is placed in shade or is used in cloudy conditions, it may take significantly longer to charge your Battery Generator.
