CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
What can be done if the wires are
too short?
Contact the manufacturer for a list of
additional parts to purchase.
How do I know if the panel is
producing voltage?
Use a multimeter (not included) to
accurately read the panel’s voltage.
Under full sun the multimeter should
read 16 – 21 V DC.
Does the solar panel drain the battery
at night?
The solar panel has integrated
blocking diodes to prevent any
reverse charge at night.
Can my panel be left outdoors
without a protective covering?
Yes, the solar panel has been
weatherproofed and can be
mounted outdoors without any
additional protection.
Can the solar panel overcharge my
battery?
Yes, but only if used without a charge
controller. Always use in conjunction
with an appropriately-sized solar
charge controller.
Can I run my 110 V appliances with
my solar power system?
Yes, you can run 110 V appliances
with the use of an inverter (not
included) which would attach to your
battery to change the battery’s 12 V
(DC) energy into 110 V (AC).
