Charging With Solar Panels

The Solar e Power Cube is supplied with five 16W solar panels (80 watts ). The top two panels are hinged at the sides of the Solar e Power Cube and the lower two panels slide out from the center of the Solar e Power Cube. The panels must be fully opened/extended to allow maximum exposure to sunlight.

Extending Solar Panels

CAUTION — Keep any objects from resting on the solar panels. This will reduce panel exposure to sunlight and slow battery charging. Heavy objects can damage the solar panels.
Factory supplied solar panels have a combined rating of 80W, however, actual charging power may vary depending on environmental factors and sun intensity in your region. The approximate charging time for the Solar e Power Cube using the supplied solar panels is 18 hours of peak sunlight. Additional solar panels may be connected to reduce charging time. The internal Solar Charge Controller is rated at a maximum of 20A. Do not connect more than 300W of solar panels, including the 80W panels that are attached. Doing so will damage the Solar Charge Controller and void the warranty. Additional solar panels must have the same voltage ratings as factory supplied panels. (See panel specifications at the rear of this document).

CAUTION—SOLAR CHARGE CONTROLLER AMPERAGE LIMIT:
The Solar Charge Controller is rated at a maximum of 20A. Do not connect more than 300W of solar panels, including the 80W panels that are supplied. Doing so will damage the Solar Charge Controller and void the warranty.

Solar Panel Positioning

To ensure maximum power from the solar panels, position the panels perpendicular to the position of the sun. For best results, the solar panels should be in line with the expected path of the sun. Panel placement varies depending on your location. It is recommended that panel positions are checked and adjusted every 3 hours to ensure solar absorption is optimized.

CAUTION—EQUIPMENT DAMAGE:
When adding solar panels, make sure the solar panels are rated for 12V systems. If you are connecting multiple solar panels to the Solar Panel Terminals, make sure the combined voltage is no greater than 17V DC.
Do not connect more than 300W (total) of solar panels, including the 80W panels that are attached. Doing so will overload the Solar Charge Controller and prevent the controller from charging.
Make sure all air vents are not blocked while the Solar e Power Cube is in use. It is essential for maintaining optimum performance.

OUTPUT POWER

Using the AC Outlet Power Receptacles

The Solar e Power Cube’s Inverter can operate most AC appliances or a combination of appliances up to 1500 watts. The Inverter is capable or handling up to 1500 watts for an extended period of time when additional batteries are connected. However, additional batteries will not increase the Inverters wattage capability beyond 1500W. Operating time (run time) is dependant on the AC load (watts) and the charge and condition of the Solar e Power Cube’s internal battery and any connected external batteries. Low wattage AC loads and a full battery charge result in longer operating times. Be sure to turn off or disconnect any AC appliance not in use.

Converting DC battery power to AC generates heat. To minimize heat buildup and possible thermal shutdown, remove obstacles blocking or hindering airflow between the intake and exhaust sides of the Solar e Power Cube. Ambient temperatures above 25 ºC will reduce the Inverter’s ability to cool effectively, thus affecting operating times.

This Inverter produces Modified Sine Wave (MSW) AC. The waveform differences can be seen below. Both waveforms have the same electrical energy, however some average reading AC voltmeters can not properly read MSW. Readings on a non-TRUE RMS meter will display up to 30 volts lower voltage than sine wave AC.

CAUTION—MODIFIED SINE WAVE:

• Some rechargeable devices are equipped with a separate AC charger. These devices are likely to operate properly with this Inverter. Rechargeable devices that have builtin chargers (see device owner’s manual) may not operate properly with this type of Inverter.
• Some motorized devices may operate at excessively elevated temperature when used with this Inverter. During first use with this Inverter, check for excessive motor temperature. Abnormally elevated temperature of the motor is an indication that they should not be used with this Inverter.
• Do not use the following with modified sine wave inverters:
• Small battery-operated appliances like flashlights, razors and night lights that can be plugged directly into an AC receptacle to recharge.
• Some chargers for battery packs used in power hand tools. These affected chargers display a warning label stating that dangerous voltages are present at the battery terminals.

To use the AC Power Inverter:

1. Turn ON the Battery Disconnect Switch

2. Connect the AC appliance or appliances to either AC Outlet.

3. Turn the Power Inverter ON by positioning the switch to the “•” ON position.

4. When the Inverter Power Indicator LED is green, the Inverter is operating.

5. Turn on one AC appliance and observe the Power Indicator and FAULT LEDs.
   • If the LED remains green, proceed to turn on the second appliance.
   • If the Power Indicator LED continues to remain green, then both appliances are operating properly.
   • If the red FAULT LED light is lit, then remove all loads and restart the inverter
   • If the Power indicator LED is not lit, then reduce the AC load. If the Inverter is still not operating, refer to the Troubleshooting table at the end of this User’s Manual.

6. After appliance use, turn OFF the Inverter switch

7. Remove AC appliance plug(s) from the AC Outlets on the Solar e Power Cube

8. Recharge the Solar e Power Cube as soon as convenient.
   Note: The external cooling fan operates whenever the Inverter is on. The cooling fan helps maintain Solar e Power Cube internal temperature when products with high power requirements are in use.

12V DC Accessory Outlets

DC Accessory Outlets can power a DC load up to 15 amps each. Overloading a port will result in tripping a self-resetting circuit breaker. Removing the overload automatically restores power to the DC Accessory Outlet once the circuit breaker has cooled.
CAUTION—Do not insert an automotive cigarette lighter into the Outlet. There is no pop-out feature and excessive heat may damage the Outlet.
To use an Accessory Outlet:

1. Open the dust cover over the DC Accessory Outlet.
2. Insert the 12V DC accessory plug into the DC Outlet.
3. Turn ON the Battery Disconnect Switch
4. Operate the appliance as usual.

POWER EXPANSION OPTIONS

Adding Batteries to the System

For extended operating time, additional batteries may be added in parallel using the Battery Terminals located above the wheels. Connect 12V LiFePO4 batteries into the system for long-term use. Connecting flooded, GEL or lead–calcium batteries can, over time, result in uneven charge and discharge between the internal and external batteries, a battery damaging condition. You may temporarily connect flooded, GEL or AGM batteries to the Solar e Power Cube. It is important that you only connect same voltage (12V) batteries in parallel. Reverse polarity connections can cause an explosion. Connecting external batteries to the Solar e Power Cube in series could cause damage to the system and void the warranty. It is recommended that adding batteries be performed by a qualified person. If in doubt, a user-provided voltmeter may be needed to verify voltage and polarity of external batteries to be connected to Solar e Power Cube.

CAUTION—EXTERNAL BATTERY:

• When adding batteries to the system for long-term use, you must use 12V LiFePO4 batteries. Using different construction or chemistry batteries can damage components.
• The supplied 5 amp rated AC charger has a total amp hour limit. External batteries may not exceed 240 amp hours. Total internal and external amp hour rating should not exceed 360 amp hours.
• It is recommended to use at least 6 AWG cable or larger to connect additional batteries to the Solar e Power Cube when drawing full power from the Inverter. Heavy cables reduce voltage loss in the cables. Typical automotive jumper cables are sufficient.
• Install 100A fuse in positive line.

External Battery Connection Procedure

1. Turn OFF the Battery Disconnect Switch.
2. Locate the Battery Terminals above the wheels.
3. Install 100A fuse in positive line.
4. Loosen the Battery Terminal covers and connect the batteries using either ring terminals or jumper cable clamps. Make sure the connection is secure.
5. With a voltmeter, verify that the battery voltage is correct at the terminals.
6. Turn ON the Inverter and observe the external battery voltage.
7. Turn ON the Solar e Power Cube Battery Disconnect Switch if batteries are connected.

CAUTION—BATTERY DISCHARGE:
With the Battery Disconnect Switch OFF, the Digital LED Voltmeter shows external battery voltage to the Inverter. It is important to monitor the external battery voltage to prevent battery over discharge.

Bypassing The Internal Battery

The Solar e Power Cube’s internal battery can be bypassed to use the Inverter or battery charging functions without using the internal battery. This feature can be used if the internal battery is not available to power AC or DC appliances. To bypass the internal battery:

1. Turn OFF the Battery Disconnect Switch.
2. Connect external batteries to the Battery Terminals.
3. Operate the Solar e Power Cube as normal depending on your needs.

Note: Do not exceed 80A (960W) current drain when bypassing internal battery.

ADDING SOLAR PANELS

There are two ways to add more panels to the Solar e Power Cube. One way is to add panels using the internal Solar Charge Controller observing the controller’s wattage/amp limits. If the Solar e Power Cube has external batteries with capacities greater than 100 amp hours, adding additional solar panels with total wattage greater than 300 watts can be accomplished by using solar panels with an external controller.

Using The Internal Solar Charge Controller

Additional solar panels can be connected to the Solar e Power Cube using the Solar Panel Terminals. Adding solar panels can reduce battery charging time. The internal Solar Charge Controller is rated at a maximum of 20A with panel voltages between 16 to 22 volts. Do not connect more than 300W of solar panels, including the 80W panels that are supplied. Doing so will cause an overload on the Solar Charge Controller and cease the charging process.

User-Supplied External Controller and Solar

Panels Additional solar panels, if equipped with their own solar charge controller, can be connected via the Battery Terminals. However it is recommended that total power charging the internal batteries does not exceed 10 amps with the Battery Disconnect Switch ON (closed).

If external batteries, solar panels greater than 300 watts and an external solar charge controller are to be connected to the Solar e Power Cube via the Battery Terminals, the Battery Disconnect Switch must be OFF (open) to avoid overcharging the internal battery.

MAINTENANCE

Maintaining the Solar e Power Cube in good operating condition is relatively simple. Charge the battery until full as often as possible and keep all surfaces free of dust and dirt.

Cleaning

With the Solar e Power Cube disconnected from all electrical cords and the fans OFF, you may carefully vacuum the vents to remove dust.
The solar panels should be periodically cleaned during extended use and before storing. Check your panels weekly or following a storm to make sure no damage has occurred.

• Check for dirt buildup or bird droppings.
• Using a soft brush, remove dust or droppings from the panels.
• Wipe surface area of solar glass and frame with a soft damp cloth. Use mild dish soap if necessary.
• Dry the panels with a soft cloth. Solar panels are more efficient when they are clean.
• Check wiring or cables that are attached to the solar panels. Wire or cables may become loose from turbulent weather conditions.
• Store panels when not in use.

Fuse Replacement—DC Charging Adapter

The DC Charging Adapter comes equipped with one 15A quick blow fuse inside each plug end.
To replace a fuse, simply unscrew the head of the plug and remove the fuse. If blown, replace with a 15 amp fuse of the same type and rating.
