Charging using the Little Genny
Emergency Power Kit’s Portable Solar Module
The portable solar module is included with Little Genny EK models only; the solar module is not
included with regular Little Genny models.
1. Ensure that the portable solar module is closed, so that the panels are not exposed to
sunlight.
2. Connect the portable solar module to the Little Genny EK using the 2.5 mm barrel
connector.
3. Open the portable solar module and orient it to fully face the sun.
4. The red light inside the pocket of the solar panel case shows that the solar panel is
working.
5. When the LED is lit solid green, a full battery charge has been reached.
6. After the battery is charged, the portable solar panel can be disconnected by closing the
solar panel and disconnecting from the Little Genny EK via the 2.5 mm barrel connector.

The Little Genny EK can be used to power devices / appliances while the solar module is
connected. However, the Little
Genny EK’s inverter would ideally be turned off while solar
charging for quicker and more efficient battery charging.
Charging a fully discharged unit (indicated by a red LED) via solar should take about three and a half to
four hours with full sun.
Charging a partially discharged unit (indicated by a yellow LED) via solar should take about two to two
and a half hours with full sun.
