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 posi-
tion 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.
