The solar panel requires full, direct sunlight to charge your camera. Grey skies, rainy days, and
other inclement weather conditions may hinder the ability of the solar panel to generate power.
•
For best results, the solar panel should be tilted in the direction that captures the most sunlight
over the course of the day. The optimum angle varies throughout the year, depending on the
season and your geographical location. As a general rule, in the northern hemisphere, the solar
panel should face south; in the southern hemisphere, the solar panel should face north. Not sure
which direction north or south sits? Download a free compass app to your phone.
•
Avoid placing in a shady area where objects such as trees and buildings may block the sun. This
will substantially reduce the power output of the solar panel.
•
The solar panel is designed to provide a "trickle charge", topping up and maintaining the camera's
battery charge level based upon the amount of sunlight received daily. If, during the day, the solar
panel does not receive enough sunlight (e.g., cloudy weather), it may not sufficiently charge your
camera and replenish any usage.
•
Periodically clean the solar panel with a soft cloth and warm water. Keep the solar panel surface
clear of leaves and debris for optimum performance.
