Tips & Tricks for Using Solar Panels

• Use with a Power Station or Devices: Solar panels generate power but don’t store it. For best results, connect your panel to a portable power station or charge compatible devices directly through the built-in cables.

• Maximize Sunlight Exposure: Reposition your solar panel throughout the day to follow the sun and achieve the highest charging efficiency.

• Works in All Weather: Solar panels can still generate power on cloudy days, though output will be reduced compared to full sunlight.
