HOW TO USE THIS 6W TOUGH SOLAR PANEL…

Directly charge USB devices

Connect directly to phones, GPS, & other USB devices using the optional Voltaic Smart USB Dongle – A universal regulated USB port. Use an optional MicroUSB or USB-C connector to connect the panel directly to USB battery packs. Note that the panel’s output current will vary with daylight intensity, and this may not make some USB devices happy. In these cases, your best option is to connect the panel to a storage battery pack that can deliver consistent power to the level your device wants (see the next option…)

Store solar power in a USB battery pack for use anytime at max power
This is the most powerful option for charging USB devices. Connect the panel to a USB back-up storage battery using the optional Mini or Micro USB connectors. Or use a Voltaic V25 or V50 or V75 USB battery pack. The power you store from the panel in the back-up battery pack can be used any time, day or night, to charge your smartphone, GPS, camera, iPad, or other USB devices.

Connect multiple panels together…

Want to combine several Voltaic solar panel together to create a more powerful solution?
IN PARALLEL
Use the Voltaic Combiner Cable
This give you multiples of the solar module’s output at the same voltage (6V). Ideal if you would like to protect against shading, or maximize the input to your battery pack (check its specs).
IN SERIES
Use the Voltaic 2-Panel Circuit Box for 12V
Use the Voltaic 3-Panel Circuit Box for 18V (best for using standard charge controllers & 12V Lithium batteries like Bioenno)
CONNECT THE PANELS TOGETHER
Use Panel Clip Edge Connectors to build bigger modules from smaller modules.
