Solar Panel Instructions
Installation
Placement:
Securely place the solar panel in a high-sunlight
area. If permanent installation is desired, use the
four stainless steel mounting screws included. To
increase heat dissipation, a heat-resistant spacer
should be used between the panel and the surface.
Connection through the cigarette lighter:
Attach the cigarette adaptor to the unit. Plug the
male-end of the cigarette adaptor (12 V plug) into
the female cigarette socket making sure that both
ends are secure and aligned correctly. For optimal
charging power, ensure the panel (solar cell up) is
directly facing the sun.
Connection to a battery:
Attach the clips to the unit. Connect the red positive
clip (+) to the red positive terminal (+) on the
battery. Connect the black negative clip (-) to the
black negative terminal (-) on the battery.
WARNING: The clips MUST be placed on to the
battery in the aforementioned order—wrong
connections may cause sparking or explosion. For
optimal charging power, ensure the panel (solar cell
up) is directly facing the sun.
Connection to Power Pack:
Connect using barrel connector included.
FAQ
What types of batteries can this solar panel
charge?
Any 12 V battery used in cars, boats, RVs,
motorcycles, etc.
Can I use this solar panel outdoors?
Yes, this solar panel has been weatherproofed. The
weatherproofing includes UV protection and
protects from weather effects of -35°F to 175°F.
How long does it take to charge a battery?
This solar panel generates 5 W of power per hour,
which is equal to 350 mA of current under ideal
conditions. For example, under ideal conditions,
the panel will generate 5 W x 7 hours per day x 7
days per week for a total of 245 W of power.
Do I need a Motomaste Eliminator Battery
Charge Controller (11-1890-0)?
No, a Battery Charge Controller is only need for
panels 15 W or greater.
Can I extend the wire?
Without loss of power or voltage, the 12 wire can
be extended up to a maximum of 25’ with a 16-
gauge wire. Ensure proper connections.
Can I start/drive my vehicle while the unit is
connected to the battery or cigarette lighter?
No, please make sure that this panel is not in use
while you are using your vehicle.
TROUBLESHOOTING:
Problem: My panel is not functioning.
Solution:
-Ensure battery is operational.
-Ensure that the distance of the wires are not
longer than 25 and all connections are secure.
-Measure the panel voltage with a voltmeter. The
voltage reading should be between 16 to 25 V in
the sun.
READ this manual BEFORE and
DURING the use of this product.
FAQ
What types of batteries does this solar panel
maintain?
Any 12 V battery used in cars, boats, RVs,
motorcycles, etc.
How long does it take to charge a dead battery?
This solar panel is ideal for trickle charging all
types of vehicle batteries and power packs. If the
battery or power pack is completely drained, use
a larger Solar Power Panel (11-1881-0 or 11-
1882-8).
Can I use this solar panel outdoors?
No, this solar panel is not weatherproofed. If this
solar panel is weathered, the warranty will
become void.
Do I need a Motomaste Eliminator Battery
Charge Controller (11-1890-0)?
No, a Battery Charge Controller is only need for
panels 15 W or greater.
Can I start/drive my vehicle while the unit is
connected to the battery or cigarette lighter?
No, please make sure that this panel is not in use
while you are using your vehicle.
Can I extend the wire?
Without loss of power or voltage, the 12 wire can
be extended up to a maximum of 25’ with a 16-
gauge wire. Ensure proper connections.
NOTE:
This solar panel has a built-in blocking diode that
protects the battery from reverse discharge. The
use of the panel is not recommended while the
vehicle is in use. The panel is not weatherproofed. If
panel is weathered, the warranty will become void.

FAQ
What types of batteries can this solar panel
charge?
Any 12 V battery used in cars, boats, RVs,
motorcycles, etc.
How long does it take to charge a depleted
battery?
In direct sunlight, this solar panel produces 1 A/hr.
By adding up to 10 solar panels, the time needed
for charging would decrease. For example, under
ideal conditions, one panel will generate 15 W x 7
hours per day x 7 days per week for a total of 735
W of power.
How can I run 120 V AC appliances with my
Solar Power Panel (11-1882-8)?
Connect the battery to a power inverter that
converts DC power to AC power.
Can I overcharge my battery?
Yes, it is strongly recommended that a Battery
Charge Controller (11-1890-0; sold separately)
be used to prevent overcharging.
Can I use this Solar Power Panel outdoors?
Yes, this Solar Power Panel has been
weatherproofed. The weatherproofing includes
UV protection and protects from weather effects
of -35°F to 175°F.
