How do I get the most efficiency out of my solar panel?

To increase the efficiency of your solar product, ensure the panels directly face the sun at all times.  As the sun moves across the sky throughout the day, adjust your solar panel accordingly.  The time of day is also an important factor to consider when using you solar product.  You will get the best performance when the sun is at the highest point in the sky - usually around noon.


Can I use my solar charger through a window?

For optimum performance, your solar panel should be outside in direct sunlight, without obstruction such as glass or shadows.


Can I leave my power pack in direct sunlight alongside the solar panel?

Whilst the solar panels are designed to sit for hours in the sun, we advise keeping power packs in the shade to avoid overheating.  The power packs have a safety feature which means they shut down if they get too hot.  A well-ventilated area out of direct sunlight is best.

Powertraveller batteries can be stored and used from -20° to 60°C.   When charging Powertraveller batteries, the advised range is 0° to 45°C.

What laptops can the Powergorilla charge?
