Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Solar Stik® Expedition 450W Photovoltaic (PV) Array. The Expedition
provides more power per pound than most any other photovoltaic (PV) panel on the market. It is
lightweight, rugged, and easily transported and deployed on almost any terrain. Each Expedition
is capable of converting sunlight into 450 watts of continuous power—energy that can be used to
charge batteries (Power Paks and Expander Paks), to power a DC load directly or an AC load using
a HyPR. The Expedition, as indicated by the name, is modular, like all Solar Stik Systems, allowing
users to size a system to meet the demands of any application.
Before setting up, please take the time to thoroughly study this manual. It will make operation easier,
safe, and more productive!
This document is subject to frequent revisions based on user feedback and program office
requirements, so please check the revision date to make sure you are using the latest information
available.
