Extending Solar Panels
CauTion —Keep any objects from resting on the solar panels. This will reduce panel exposure to
sunlight and slow battery charging. Heavy objects can damage the solar panels.
Factory supplied solar panels have a combined rating of 80W, however, actual charging power
may vary depending on environmental factors and sun intensity in your region. The approximate
charging time for the Solar e Power Cube using the supplied solar panels is 18 hours of peak
sunlight. Additional solar panels may be connected to reduce charging time. The internal Solar
Charge Controller is rated at a maximum of 10A. Do not connect more than 150W of solar
panels, including the 80W panels that are attached. Doing so will damage the Solar Charge
Controller and void the warranty. Additional solar panels must have the same voltage ratings as
factory supplied panels. (See panel specifications at the rear of this document).
CauTion—Solar Charge ConTroller amPerage limiT:
The Solar Charge Controller is rated at a maximum of 10A. Do not connect more than 150W
of solar panels, including the 80W panels that are supplied. Doing so will damage the Solar
Charge Controller and void the warranty.
Solar Panel Positioning
To ensure maximum power from the solar panels, position the panels perpendicular to the posi-
tion of the sun. For best results, the solar panels should be in line with the expected path of the
sun. Panel placement varies depending on your location. It is recommended that panel positions
are checked and adjusted every 3 hours to ensure solar absorption is optimized.
CauTion—equiPmenT damage:
When adding solar panels, make sure the solar panels are rated for 12V systems. If you are
connecting multiple solar panels to the Solar Panel Terminals, make sure the combined voltage is
no greater than 17V DC.
English
Solar e Power
™
Cube 1500 by Wagan Tech®

www.wagan.com
Do not connect more than 150W (total) of solar panels, including the 80W panels that are
attached. Doing so will overload the Solar Charge Controller and prevent the controller from
charging.
Make sure all air vents are not blocked while the Solar e Power Cube is in use. It is essential for
maintaining optimum performance.
OUTPUT POWER
Using the AC Outlet Power Receptacles
The Solar e Power Cube’s Inverter can operate most AC appliances or a combination of appli-
ances up to 1500 watts. The Inverter is capable or handling up to 1500 watts for an extended
period of time when additional batteries are connected. However, additional batteries will not
increase the Inverters wattage capability beyond 1500W. Operating time (run time) is depen-
dant on the AC load (watts) and the charge and condition of the Solar e Power Cube’s internal
battery and any connected external batteries. Low wattage AC loads and a full battery charge
result in longer operating times. Be sure to turn off or disconnect any AC appliance not in use.
The Inverter has a soft start function that protects the Inverter circuitry from a power surge com-
monly present when starting heavy loads. This function may take up to 3 seconds for the Inverter
power light to turn on.
Converting DC battery power to AC generates heat. To minimize heat buildup and possible ther-
mal shutdown, remove obstacles blocking or hindering airflow between the intake and exhaust
sides of the Solar e Power Cube. Ambient temperatures above 25 ºC will reduce the Inverter’s
ability to cool effectively, thus affecting operating times.
This Inverter produces Modified Sine Wave (MSW) AC. The waveform differences can be seen
below. Both waveforms have the same electrical energy, however some average reading AC
voltmeters can not properly read MSW. Readings on a non-TRUE RMS meter will display up to
30 volts lower voltage than sine wave AC.
Pure Sine Wave Modified Sine Wave
CauTion—modiFied Sine wave:
• Some rechargeable devices are equipped with a separate AC charger. These devices
are likely to operate properly with this Inverter. Rechargeable devices that have built-
in chargers (see device owner’s manual) may not operate properly with this type of
Inverter.

User’s Manual—Read before using this equipment
17
• Some motorized devices may operate at excessively elevated temperature when used
with this Inverter. During first use with this Inverter, check for excessive motor tempera-
ture. Abnormally elevated temperature of the motor is an indication that they should not
be used with this Inverter.
• Do not use the following with modified sine wave inverters:
• Small battery-operated appliances like flashlights, razors and night lights that
can be plugged directly into an AC receptacle to recharge.
• Some chargers for battery packs used in power hand tools. These affected
chargers display a warning label stating that dangerous voltages are present
at the battery terminals.
To use the AC Power Inverter:
1. Turn ON the Battery Disconnect Switch
2. Connect the AC appliance or appliances to either AC Outlet.
3. Turn the Power Inverter ON by positioning the switch to the “•” ON position.
4. When the Inverter Power Indicator LED is green, the Inverter is operating.
5. Turn on one AC appliance and observe the Power Indicator and FAULT LEDs.
• If the LED remains green, proceed to turn on the second appliance.
• If the Power Indicator LED continues to remain green, then both appliances are
operating properly.
• If the red FAULT LED light is lit, then remove all loads and restart the inverter
• If the Power indicator LED is not lit, then reduce the AC load. If the Inverter is
still not operating, refer to the Troubleshooting table at the end of this User’s
Manual.
6. After appliance use, turn OFF the Inverter switch
7. Remove AC appliance plug(s) from the AC Outlets on the Solar e Power Cube
8. Recharge the Solar e Power Cube as soon as convenient.
Note: The external cooling fan operates whenever the Inverter is on. The cooling fan helps
maintain Solar e Power Cube internal temperature when products with high power requirements
are in use.
12V DC Accessory Outlets
DC Accessory Outlets can power a DC load up to 15 amps each. Overloading a port will result
in tripping a self-resetting circuit breaker. Removing the overload automatically restores power to
the DC Accessory Outlet once the circuit breaker has cooled.
CauTion—Do not insert an automotive cigarette lighter into the Outlet. There is no pop-out feature
and excessive heat may damage the Outlet.
To use an Accessory Outlet:
1. Open the dust cover over the DC Accessory Outlet.
English
Solar e Power

2. Insert the 12V DC accessory plug into the DC Outlet.
3. Turn ON the Battery Disconnect Switch
4. Operate the appliance as usual.
5. After use, disconnect the accessory plug from the DC Accessory Outlet and store the
accessory.
6. Replace the DC Outlet’s dust cover.
7. Turn OFF the Battery Disconnect Switch
8. Recharge the Solar e Power Cube as soon as convenient.
External Battery Terminals
The Solar e Power Cube Battery Terminals can be used to power DC loads greater than 15
amps. Proper care should be taken, however to prevent the load from over-discharging the
Solar e Power Cube’s battery. Jump starting a vehicle involves very high current that can cause
damage to person and property. Extra care MUST be taken to prevent any accidents. Always
make sure the Inverter switch on the front panel is turned OFF and all DC and USB devices are
disconnected before attempting to connect to or jump start using the Battery Terminals. Engine
cranking should be done in three-second bursts. If the engine does not start after seven attempts,
discontinue and look for other problems.
AC OPERATING TIME USING INVERTER
Below are typical AC products that can be operated by the Solar e Power Cube with estimated
operating times. The operating times will vary depending on the internal battery charge level,
ambient temperature and the actual AC product being operated. The Solar e Power Cube will
not continuously operate AC appliances rated at more than 1500 watts, such as air conditioners
or motors over 12 amps. Operating times can be extended if external batteries or chargers are
connected to the Solar e Power Cube.
