debris. Clean with a mild detergent and water only.
Store solar panels folded and in a dry location.•

Section 2
PARTS IDENTIFICATION FOR 5- & 10-WATT SOLAR COLLECTORS

SIERRA WAVE SOLAR COLLECTORS

Sierra Wave foldable solar collection products use very high efficiency monocrystalline solar
cells and durable weather resistant materials. The multi-volt POWER PORT HUB provides
a variety of power options along with power regulation protection to your device. Use with
small electronics devices that utilize a 5V USB adapter, Sierra Wave power storage devices, or
Wind ‘N Go™, SolaDyne™ and Aervoe® products. Both models include a chainable cable that
allows multiple units to be connected to each other to increase solar collection capacity.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

All instructions pertain the #9505 & #9510 Solar Collectors. Any differences will be noted as
needed.

Before use, confirm your electronic device is compatible with this solar collector. Reference
the Specifications listed in this user manual.

Set Up

Unfold the 1. SOLAR COLLECTOR and remove the protective film
Position the 2. SOLAR CELLS at an angle that directly faces the sun (additional support
may be necessary). Continue checking the angle throughout the day to ensure the sun is
reaching the solar cells correctly. An LED INDICATOR will illuminate when sun exposure
is present (does not indicate strength of the sun). Optimal collection will occur on a
bright sunny day between 80,000 and 100,000 LUX value.

BATTERY CELL POCKET

The POCKET below the POWER POD HUB is designed to hold the #9614 14-Watt Power Hub
or the #7403 Battery Cell (sold separately) while charging or for storage. Pull the charging
cord through the opening at the bottom of the pocket and plug into the 15V port.

POWER PORT HUB

There are 4 power ports available: 5V USB, 6V, and 15V and one port dedicated to chaining
multiple panels together. Follow the charging instructions provided with your specific
electronic device. Charging rates will vary depending on the SOLAR COLLECTOR used and
available capacity in your device.

5V USB Port
Use with cell phones, eReaders, tablet computers, Sierra Wave and SolaDyne power storage
devices, and other devices using a USB adapter

6V Port

15V Port

Chain Port
Multiple SOLAR COLLECTORS may be chained together to increase solar charging capacity by
using the included CHAINABLE CABLE.

#9505 Collector

#9510 Collector

Once charging has completed, disconnect the device from the SOLAR COLLECTOR.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Should you find that your Solar Collector fails to charge your device, follow the instructions
below. If the problem persists, contact Aervoe Industries Inc. at www.aervoe.com or 800-227-

0196.

Note: Some Apple® products may report an error message “This device is not supported”
when connected directly to the Solar Collector. Apple devices require a specific power range
and the error may be the result of inadequate sunshine or wattage output from the Solar
Collector. If this occurs, place the Solar Collector and the device in optimum sunshine or
increase the Solar Collector wattage by using a larger collector or chaining more than one
together. Some devices may not be compatible.

Connect your electronic device to the port labeled 5V USB using it’s USB adapter•

Use with Sierra Wave, SolaDyne, Wind ‘N Go, and Aervoe products•
Connect to the 6V port using the charging cable provided with your device.•

Store energy in a power storage device or charge other compatible devices.•
Recommend Storage Devices: •

With the #9505 5-Watt Solar Collector store power in: Sierra Wave #9614 •

Make sure the angle of the solar cells are directly facing the sun•
Optimal charging will occur on a bright, sunny day. If there are clouds in the sky •
charging will be inefficient.
Check the condition of the solar cells and Power Port Hub for damage•
Check that all cables and adapter tips are firmly connected•
Verify the device you are charging is compatible with the Solar Collector specifications •
and that it is plugged into the correct voltage port.
