Product Information

Full details

The ZEISS Solar Panel Pro is designed for outdoor enthusiasts and wildlife observers who need reliable, continuous power for their trail cameras and other low-power devices in remote locations. Its key benefit is providing off-grid energy independence with a large integrated battery and versatile output options. A potential caveat is the dependence on consistent sunlight for optimal charging, though the substantial battery mitigates this significantly.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the capacity of the internal battery?

The ZEISS Solar Panel Pro features a built-in Li-ion battery with a capacity of 37 Wh, equivalent to 10,000 mAh at 3.7V.

Can I power multiple devices simultaneously?

Yes, you can use the different output ports (USB-C, USB-A, 12V coaxial) to power multiple compatible devices at the same time, provided the total power draw does not exceed the panel's capabilities.

What is the IP rating, and what does it mean?

The panel has an IP66 rating. This means it is protected against dust ingress (the '6') and strong jets of water (the second '6'), making it highly resistant to weather conditions.

How long does it take to charge the internal battery?

Charging time depends on sunlight intensity. Using a 5V/1.5A USB-C input, it can take several hours. In direct sunlight, the solar cells will continuously charge the battery.

What type of connector does the 12V output use?

The 12V output uses a DC coaxial connector with dimensions of 4.0x1.6mm.

What is the operating temperature range?

The solar panel is designed to operate reliably in extreme conditions, from -20°C to 55°C (-4°F to 131°F).

Does the mount allow for precise aiming?

Yes, the included ZEISS Universal Mount comes with a ball head that allows for precise alignment of the solar panel towards the sun.

Troubleshooting

Device is not charging or receiving power.

Ensure the solar panel is receiving direct sunlight. Check that all cable connections are secure at both the panel and the device. Verify that the device's power requirements are within the output specifications of the panel's ports (e.g., not exceeding 12V/1A for the coaxial output). Clean the solar panel surface.

Internal battery is not charging.

Confirm the panel is in direct sunlight. Check the USB-C input port for debris and ensure the charging cable is securely connected. Try using a different USB-C cable and a compatible power source (e.g., a wall adapter) to charge the internal battery directly, then re-test solar charging.

Panel is damaged or not functioning after exposure to weather.

Inspect the panel for any visible physical damage. Ensure the IP66 rating is not compromised. If damage is present, contact customer support. The operating temperature range is -20°C to 55°C; ensure it has not been used outside these limits.

Output voltage is unstable.

Ensure the internal battery has sufficient charge. Direct, strong sunlight will provide the most stable output. Check for any loose connections or damaged cables.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Provides reliable, long-term off-grid power.
Large 10,000 mAh battery capacity is substantial.
Multiple output ports (USB-C, USB-A, 12V) offer broad device compatibility.
Durable IP66 rating ensures resilience against weather.
Secure and adjustable mounting system is easy to use and reliable.
Works in a wide range of extreme temperatures.

Cons

Performance is dependent on adequate sunlight for charging.
Initial setup may require careful positioning for optimal sun exposure.
Weight (460g) might be a consideration for portable applications.
Cable length (5 meters) might be limiting in certain scenarios.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Choose a location that receives maximum direct sunlight throughout the day, free from shade.
Use the included ZEISS Universal Mount, camouflage tree strap, and ball head to securely attach the solar panel. Adjust the ball head for the optimal angle towards the sun.
Connect your device(s) using the appropriate output port (USB-C, USB-A, or 12V coaxial) and cable. Ensure connections are secure.
For initial use, allow the panel to charge its internal battery for several hours in direct sunlight if possible.

Compatibility:

Output Ports: USB-C (5V/1.5A), USB-A (5V/1.5A), 12V DC coaxial (4.0x1.6mm, 12V/1A).
Power Input: USB-C (5V/1.5A) for charging the internal battery.
Devices: Trail cameras, smartphones, GPS devices, camping lights, small fans, power banks, and other electronics that accept 5V or 12V input within the specified amperage limits.

Care:

Cleaning: Wipe the solar panel surface regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, or debris that can reduce efficiency. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
Connections: Ensure all cables and ports are clean and dry before connecting devices.
Storage: If storing the unit for an extended period, ensure it is clean and in a dry environment. It is recommended to charge the internal battery periodically.
