Troubleshooting Guide and FAQ
How does the solar panel work?
The solar panel converts sunlight energy into DC electric power, which can be used to charge a
rechargeable battery.
How many solar panels will it take to run my appliances?
As a general rule, the user should establish the amps required to run the appliances, then
multiply them by the expected module voltage.
Power Calculations
Amp Hours (Ah) = Current (amps) x Working Time (hours)
Module Power (W) = Current (amps) x Expected Module Voltage (V)
After completing these calculations the capacity of the solar panel can be established.
For example, the follow table (overleaf) represents a typical portable appliance configuration.
