FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Is the SunPower 40W Solar Panel waterproof? The panels are weather-
resistant and will not be harmed if exposed to light rain or snow; however,
the solar panel’s input cord is not weather-resistant and must be kept dry.
Does the SunPower 40W Solar Panel hold a charge? The solar panels only
produce power when exposed to sunlight and that power is not stored and
must be transferred to a ba ery source.
Can I leave the SunPower 40W Solar Panel outside for con nual use? The
panels are not designed for con nuous outdoor use. When not in use wipe
the panels with a clean, dry cloth and fold for storage.
Does the SunPower 40W Solar Panel have an internal charge controller?
The solar panel does not have an internal charge controller; however, the
Freedom
TM
and C-100 model CPAP ba eries have internal circuitry that
prevents overcharging. When using the solar panel to charge other devices
it is important that you read the charging instruc ons for the specific
device as overcharging may damage the device’s internal ba ery.
SAFETY & CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Only fold on the set breaks of the panels with the solar cells facing
outward. Always protect the solar cells when not in use.

Do not a empt to charge non-rechargeable ba eries or devices with
non-rechargeable ba eries.

Do not expose the solar panel to extreme heat or direct sunlight for long
periods of me as this may cause warping of the panels. Once charging
is complete move the panel out of direct sunlight.

Do not machine wash, machine dry, or dry clean.

If dirt or debris collect on the solar panels use a clean, damp cloth to
wipe the panels. Do not use soap or solvents as they can create a film
on the solar panels which can affect performance.

Make sure the panels are clean and dry before storage.
