FAQs
Can I charge the Aqiila P21 itself?
No, the P21 is a direct solar-to-USB power converter and does not contain an internal battery.
Is it safe to use in the rain?
Yes, it features an IP67 rating, meaning it is waterproof, but charging efficiency will be near zero in rainy or overcast conditions.
Can I charge a laptop with this?
The P21 outputs up to 21W; while it may charge small tablets, it is generally insufficient for high-demand devices like full-sized laptops.
Does it include a battery?
No, the device provides direct power from the sun to your connected device via the USB port.
What is the benefit of the USB-C to USB-A adapter?
The adapter allows you to use your existing USB-A cables to charge older devices while still benefiting from the panel's modern USB-C power delivery output.
How do I store the panel?
Always fold the panel completely and store in a cool, dry place to protect the fabric and folding hinges.
Troubleshooting
Device is not charging
Ensure the panels are in direct sunlight and not obscured by clouds or shade. Check that the USB cable is fully seated in the port.
Slow charging speeds
Verify that there is no dirt or debris on the solar cells. Ensure the angle of the panels is optimal relative to the sun's position.
Charger seems unresponsive
Test with a different USB cable or device to rule out cable/device failure.

Setting up the Sunbird P21 is straightforward: simply unfold the panels to expose the surface to direct sunlight. Plug your charging cable into the USB-C port, and connect your device. The charger is compatible with most USB-powered devices including smartphones, tablets, and portable GPS units. To maintain longevity, keep the panels clean from mud and dust by wiping them down with a damp, soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive sponges that could scratch the solar surface.
