1.4 Solar Panels
1. Mount solar powered energizers so that the solar panel is facing due north in the Southern
hemisphere, due south in the Northern hemisphere, and at an angle of degree latitude plus
10 degrees. If in doubt, confirm with an online solar panel angle calculator.
2. Solar panels need as much direct sunlight as possible, preferably full sun all day. Unlike
small solar powered items such as calculators, all JVA Solar-Powered Energizers need direct
sunlight to generate enough electricity to charge the battery.
3. The solar panel also needs to be clean to operate properly. Clean off any dust or dirt using a
damp cloth.
4. Keep the SV2/SV5/SV10 from being immersed in water and out of extreme heat.
5. Be aware that thieves target solar powered items, so a padlock may be useful in securing the
SV2/SV5/SV10 to a fence post.
1.5 Rechargeable Batteries
1. The SV2, SV5 and SV10 contain a rechargeable, sealed, lead-acid (SLA) battery. SLA battery
life is shortened considerably if it is:
a) left in a discharged state or;
b) exposed to very high temperatures.
2. When not in use store the energizer in such a way as to allow the panel to get as much light
as possible, such as on a window sill with the panel facing out. Take the energizer out into
sunlight for a few hours once every month to keep the battery from self-discharging.
