What can I charge with the Sunslick?
The Sunslick can charge all kinds of 12 V batteries and electronic equipment via the battery and using a charge controller. It is possible to use the Sunslick unit to ‘trickle’ charge a 12V battery to stop it from discharging when not being used. However, we suggest only using the 7W Sunslick with batteries over 60Ah capacity and the 14W with batteries over 120Ah. The 27W Sunslick is not really suited for trickle charging and therefore should always be used with a charge controller. In any case, for best performance at all times, we always recommend the use of a controller.

Do temperature and climate affect the Sunslick?
The Sunslick is a waterproof product but cannot be completely submerged into water for a long time. The temperature operating range is between -20°C and +60°C. As with all solar panels, please bear in mind that their performance is connected with the amount of sunshine they receive. For more details of the effect of weather on solar panels, please read our guide Effect of Weather on Solar Energy Production.
How do I clean and maintain the Sunslick?
The Sunslick requires practically no maintenance. Simply wipe the surface with a damp cloth or with a mild soap solution to clean it. Do not use any abrasive cleaner or solvent as this would damage the Sunslick.
How do I attach the Sunslick?
Take a cord and attach the Sunslick using its eyelets. Remember to never fold or crease the Sunslick. When attaching it ensure that the Sunslick does not flap in the wind.
If I need more power, can I connect several Sunslicks together? How?
Yes, if using a charge controller you can connect several Sunslicks in parallel, but always staying under the current (amp) limit of your charge controller. If the total current of the connected Sunslicks is more than the specified limit of your controller, a bigger charge controller is required.

Can I roll the Sunslick to store it?
