Clean Your Panels
Solar panels function through the
interaction of many individual cells (
see
right
). Output can be greatly affected
with even the slightest obstruction to
a single cell of the panel. Make sure
the panel is free of any dirt, debris, or
other objects like stickers and decals.
Protective coatings can also greatly
reduce panel performance, including
clear films, plastic sheet/paneling, and
even glass.
Panel Wiring - Series vs Parallel
Wiring your panels right is key to
getting the best efficiency in your
unique situation. You can wire panels in
and adjusting them throughout the day
will yield the best results. The angle will
vary from month to month, but an angle
of 30-60 degrees from flat is generally
considered ideal. As long as you point
your panels at the sun, you should get
good results.
Safety Tips
The Flex is designed for use with and
rated for Inergy-brand solar panels,
but you can use off-brand solar panels
if you have them. You should not mix
different types and ratings of panels;
always use identical panels in a string.
As a hard rule, any string of solar
panels must not exceed the open circuit
voltage (VOC) rating of the Flex system
(see Tech Specs ). If you have any
questions or doubts about your solar

parallel (connecting all positive wires
together, as well as all negative) or
series (connecting the positive wire of
one panel to the negative wire of the

There’s another way, series-parallel,
which is a single series string of
multiple identical parallel strings, which
is a bit more complex. Simply-put, you’ll
DO NOT
use the 5.5mm x 2.5mm charging port on the Flex Battery for solar charging. Doing so may cause serious
damage to your Flex Battery, and it will void your warranty. It can result in fire, electrical shock, and
personal harm.
