Frequently Asked Questions

What devices can this 5W solar panel charge?

This panel is ideal for charging small 5V USB devices like mobile phones, power banks, small LED lamps, and portable radios. It does not generate enough power for large appliances, televisions, or multi-bulb household lighting systems.

How do I choose the right solar panel size for my needs?

Calculate your daily power consumption in watt-hours. A 5W panel yields roughly 20 to 25 watt-hours per day under optimal sunlight in Kenya. If you need to charge larger devices or run multiple lights, you will need a higher wattage panel.

Can I leave this panel outside in the rain?

Yes, the panel features a weather-resistant construction designed to withstand outdoor exposure. However, ensure that any connected charging adapters, batteries, or terminals are kept dry and sheltered from direct rainfall.

How should I install and maintain this solar panel?

Mount the panel facing the equator at an angle roughly matching your local latitude to maximize sunlight capture. Wipe the glass surface periodically with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and maintain charging efficiency.

What is included in the box?

The package contains the Phoenix Original Solar Panel 5W with its attached output cable and standard connectors. Mounting brackets or external charge controllers are sold separately.
