can it be used with solar panels?

Yes, just connect it independently to the batteries(not through the solar charge controller).

I do not know for sure. I think if the solar panels can charge a gel battery you could. This is a great battery and runs our trolling motor for 5 hours. I want to put this battery on my trailer and plan to use solar.

As long as it can be charged with a usb cable it should work just fine. Just a note, the solar panel does not come with a usb cord, just a place to plug one in.

You can use any type of solar panel. If you are using solar panel which has wattage of 180 to 300 watts, you can use minimum 5 panels and maximum up to 1750Watts. We can also provide you solar panels at competitive rate.

Yes you can just make sure the solar collector panel will get sun to recharge or use an external collector plugged into the unit. Great for an interior shed or area with no sun if you have that external piece.

You certainly can. Think of those big solar arrays...they are several individual panels connected in a system to provide a certain wattage of output.

You can use solar power to charge a battery conected to this inverter , but you cannot hook the solar panels straight to the inverter.

Yes. You just need to ensure that you have a cable to connect from the USB port on the solar panel to your device.

I think he means with an inverter. Yes, if the inverter is rated at 750 watts or more you should be able to use this with it.

I'm not sure - it would have to be positioned so the sun hit the solar panel - cant hurt to try it and see :-)

No idea in a solar panel use but they are 12v. So If the panel is 12v you may need to adapt it some how

I do not believe that this is possible, though I could be wrong. I was under the impression that this requires a bit of skill, perhaps a designated solar breaker, etc. The battery required, would be a solar battery (deep cycle battery). You would wire this from the panels to a solar charge controller, battery and an inverter.

Yes, as part of a mid size solar/wind system. If you want to use appliances that generate heat, you need more wattage.

Yes, I would think so. You can raise the solar panel in the direction of sun as shown in its picture. But certainly possibility of water leak is a concern on flat surface.

I don't think so. The solar cell may charge without direct exposure to sunlight but it may not be enough to charge the battery completely. I have installed mine where sun does hit directly for few hours and the rest of the time it is at an angle but it still works perfectly. The light is not very bright, please keep that in mind.

I would not, its designed to have electricity running through it all the time. The battery tender turns on when the battery needs juice. A solar panel is not constantly pulling energy, and this is always turned on. I would ask someone who is an automotive electrician.

Yes it can. I leave mine plugged in all the time. I would also consider looking at the Duracell Powerpacks as they have a range of sizes - but they do not have the solar hookup - depends on what you are looking for.
