and is not recommended to be used to charge other battery system.
Q: Why is there a repetitive clicking sound coming from the EnergyBar™-250
when it is being charged by EP-55 Solar Panel?

by the EP-55 Solar Panel.
Q: Why is the Power Indication LED of the SOLMAX™ Box blinking very fast
when EP-55 Solar Panel is plugged onto the EnergyBar™-250?
A: The very fast blinking state of the power indication LED on the SOLMAX™ Box
is its way of indicating that the EnergyBar™-250 has stopped accepting charge.
This condition may be followed by a repetitive clicking sound from the
EnergyBar™-250 if the level of sunshine fluctuates.

Power Indicator LED will blink rapidly and may be followed by a loud repetitive
clicking sound as explained above.
Q: Why does the PV panel sag during use?
A: The stand that props up the PV panels is made of light polypropylene plastic
and will flex as the sun reaches its peak point so that the panels are relatively
more horizontal to maximize harvest of the sunshine.
