Connecting Regulated 24 VDC Power Sources
Connect regulated 24 VDC power sources such
as wind generators and fuel cells to the three (3)
Inter-Connect ports. Connect 24 VDC power from
Military Vehicles (e.g., HMMWV) and TQGs to the
NATO port.

Up to six (6) solar arrays can be connected to the Power Hub Solar Input Only ports using Solar
Stik Solar Leashes. The Power Hub 3500 contains three (3) solar charge controllers. Each charge
controller has two (2) input ports; both ports are equal. When connecting fewer than four (4) arrays,
choose one port from each of the three (3) charge controllers. After the first three (3) ports are
connected to solar arrays, the remaining three (3) ports may be connected to additional solar arrays
at random.
Each of the three (3) solar chargers safely accepts up to 1166 watts. Different types of solar arrays
can be connected to the Power Hub simultaneously as long as their specifications meet the
requirements shown on the Faceplate (Figure 10). The bayonet connector for the Solar Leash is
keyed and unique to the Solar Stik System (Figure 7). It cannot be connected improperly, and no
other Solar Stik System cable will fit.
