Power supplies

25.2. Solar Panel

The solar panel must be connected using the cable supplied.

Both the mini USB connector and the solar panel connector allow only one connection position which must be respected

without being forced into the incorrect position. In this way connection polarity is respected.

Solar panels up to

12V

are allowed. The maximum charging current through the solar panel is

280mA
