Optimizing Performance
To optimize performance of your Solar Suitcase, it is important to follow these simple steps:
1. Clean your solar panels if you can do so safely
Keep the solar panels clean for best results. Dirt and dust will reduce the amount of
electricity the solar panels will produce. If dust accumulates, only clean the panels if it
is safe to go up on the roof. To clean the panels, just rinse with water. Do NOT scrub
as you might scratch the panel. Do NOT use soap. If the main battery is getting fully
charged each sunny day, then dirt on the panels is not a problem. Also, rainfall will
help clean the panels for you.
2. Know your battery status
When you know your battery status, you know when it is a good time to charge
appliances and when you should conserve electricity. Knowing your battery status is
important to ensure the lights are always available during an emergency.
