SOLAR PANELS
The GoBlock can be connected to Solar Panels in two ways:
By directly connecting a solar panel to the Auxiliary Anderson™ Input on the GoBlock. See
'Charge From Solar Panels/Blankets' on page 17
When docked in the PowerDock
(sold separately)
that has solar panels hard-wired to it.
GoBlock utilises intelligent Green Power Priority technology
in order to collect maximum
solar energy from your solar panels.
Portable Solar Panels
Portable solar panels and solar blankets can be connected directly to the GoBlock via the Auxiliary
Anderson™ Input.
NOTICE
Do not connect solar panels that have an in-built solar regulator, as it can interfere with the
performance of the GoBlock's internal solar regulator.
1.
Check if the solar panel has an Anderson™ connector — if not, use a suitable
adaptor (not supplied).
2.
Make sure the panels are free of dust and dirt— if not, wipe gently. Take care when cleaning to
avoid scratching the panels, as scratches may reduce the performance of the panels.
3.
Connect the Anderson™ connector on the solar panel to the Auxiliary Anderson™ Input on the
back of the GoBlock — DO NOT connect it to the Anderson Output on the front.
4.
Position the solar panel to directly face the sun, making sure that the panel is not partially
shaded. If the panel cannot be positioned to directly face the sun, it can be oriented to face the
equator at an angle of 45 degrees.
5.
The GoBlock will automatically begin charging if there is adequate solar energy available,
i.e., if it is sunny enough.
