SETUP

1.
To maximize power generation, place your SolarPanel 5 in
direct sunlight: align the panel’s sundial so that the black dot’s
shadow is in the center of the axis. (1.1)
Stabilize the position of your panel with the integrated 360

CHARGING
2
The SolarPanel 5 provides 5 watts of usable electricity and can
1.
safely charge devices via USB such as phones, headlamps,
lanterns, and the BioLite CookStove.
2. When the SolarPanel 5 begins to generate power, the Charge
Strength LED indicator (2.1) will begin to blink. The stronger
the sun, the faster the LED light will blink, signifying the amount
of power being generated.
Reference tip: 2 hours in direct peak sun will fully charge
most smartphones. We recommended closing apps and wi-fi
to conserve your power.
To charge a device using the SolarPanel 5, plug the device into
3.
the USB charge out port located in the orange bar on the
backside of your panel (2.2)
The SolarPanel 5 features Auto-Reconnect: Extended cloud
4.
coverage may result in your panel temporarily disengaging in
power generation, but when the sun reappears,
Auto-Reconnect software will automatically reconnect your
device and continue charging from the sun.
5.
To stop charging your device, unplug from the SolarPanel 5.
