Troubleshooting
Device not charging
Ensure the solar panel is in direct, full sunlight and correctly oriented. Check that the USB cable is securely connected to both the panel and the device. Verify that your device's charging input is compatible with the USB port.
Slow charging speed
Cloud cover or partial shade will reduce charging speed. Relocate the panel to an area with unimpeded sunlight. Clean the panel surface if it appears dirty.
