5. Operating Instructions

Charging Devices:

1. After connecting the solar panel to the controller, connect your electronic device (e.g., smartphone, tablet) to either the USB-A or USB-C output port on the controller using a compatible charging cable.
2. The controller will automatically detect the connected device and begin charging. The red light will indicate fast charging mode if supported by the device and sufficient solar input.
3. You can charge multiple devices simultaneously using both USB-A and USB-C ports.
4. The controller's design allows you to keep your sensitive devices in a shaded or safe environment while the solar panel remains in direct sunlight.

6. Maintenance

• Keep the controller clean and free from dust and debris. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
• Store the device in a cool, dry place when not in use.
• Regularly check cables and connectors for any signs of wear or damage. Replace damaged components immediately.
• Avoid exposing the ports to water or other liquids.

7. Troubleshooting

Common Issues and Solutions:

• Device not charging:
  • Ensure the solar panel is receiving adequate sunlight.
  • Verify all connections between the solar panel, controller, and device are secure.
  • If there was a power interruption, try disconnecting and reconnecting the USB load to restart charging.
  • Check if the red input light on the controller is illuminated, indicating power from the solar panel.
• Slow charging:
  • Ensure the solar panel is in optimal sunlight conditions.
  • Check the charging cable for damage or if it supports fast charging for your device.
  • The output power depends on the input voltage from the solar panel. For 20V Power Delivery (PD) output, the input voltage from the solar panel typically needs to be above 21V. If the input voltage is lower, the maximum output voltage will be limited.
• Controller feels warm:
  • It is normal for the controller to become warm during operation, especially during fast charging or high power output. The device includes temperature protection to prevent overheating.
  • If it becomes excessively hot, disconnect devices and allow it to cool down in a shaded area.
