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 bat-
teries 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.
