I have a Yeti 400 and wanted to use the LiteFuze® 50W Mono-crystalline Solar Panel. What other items do I need to buy in order to attach them?

Robbin: Sorry may not be able to help you here.. I've looked at the pictures and information of the Yeti and cannot confirm what is needed to hook the solar panel to it. I can only mention that I have had this particular solar panel up and running for 2 years and it still going strong. However you hook it up, please be sure that some type of charge control is used. The Yeti may have an internal one but I doubt it. That solar panel puts out about 1.9 amps of current in strong sunlight and without charge control could overcharge any battery pack hooked to it. Sorry I can't be of more help....Phillip Robbin: Sorry may not be able to help you here..

According to the website and the various questions on there. You can charge and use the YETI at the same time. Of course though if your input is less than your output then you are in fact going to drain your battery. The maximum that the company recommends charging the YETI with is 8 boulder 30s for a total of 240 watts. Hope this helps.

what type of battery do I need for additional power stooge for my yeti 1250

Hi Retired Guy. Presently, the solar panel and attached cable are not sold separately from the lamp and stand. You may me able to find similar solar panels in the market, but we cannot recommend any that are not by us.

I use a 20watt panel and a voltage regulator. If you have a battery,you will need a solar regulator.

As far as I know, all of the Blue Yeti's are USB (PRO included), so you wouldn't need something like this.

Just got my Yeti 400 and the Boulder 30 solar panel plugs right in with attached cord. No user guide needed, it is super simple and just plain works!

well you will need a few items if all you have is are the solar panels, i am going to assume you are completely off grid? if so you will need to have some sort of storage (batteries) and a charge controller from the panels to the batteries. you are going to want a fair size battery bank depending are your power requirements? from there i see you are looking for an inverter, i have the Magnum 4024 inverter and absolutely love it!! along with the inverter you are going to want to purchase a magnum remote like the me-rc50 to program the inverter. and then appropriate wiring to hook everything up. i recommend looking at some of the videos on You Tube to get info on sizing your solar system and how to set it up. there are many variables that can effect how you design the system so with a little research and homework you can gather all the info you need online.

Hi, I installed the Uni-Solar panel on a Lance 1020 camper and found it pretty simple, simply roll it out and remove the backing. It bounded extremely well so get it in the right place to start with. We traded the camper for a larger one a couple of months after installation so I had limited experience with performance but it kept the battery charged and put out the amps and voltage advertised.

It depends on what panels you buy. If you buy goal zero panels ie a boulder 30 it will connect right up. It gets complicated if it's a non goal zero panel bc you'll have a splice with another connector...like an mc4.

This light fits all Sherpa power packs n yeti generators. It's a 12V light n it comes with a 12V car adaptor to plug into ya car 12V lighter outlet or the yeti 12V lighter outlet. I bought this together with escape 150 which is an older model of the current yeti 150. So if you're not using a goal zero power pack, the only option is to use the 12V car adapter that comes with the light. Does ya power pack support 12V? If it does, then it'll work for you.

I purchased the HQRP Pair 25 feet / 7.62m 1x4mm Photovoltaic Solar Array Cables with MC4 Connectors and HQRP Coaster cables to connect from the panel, but to the controller (depending on the controller you buy) you might need to modify the end. I had a perfect fit on the panel end, but my controller needed an eyelet connector. Since I am an electronics technician, I happened to have some eyelet crimp adaptors handy. So I cut the ends off and crimped the eyelets on, so now the wires screw directly into the controller (no quick disconnect). If you buy two of these (of course, a shorter length) you could permanently attach one set, and still have the quick disconnects.

Check the wattage. If it's at or below the rating on the Yeti, it WILL run it. However, don't get your hopes up for it running it for days and days. It's more like hours. Connected to some good splat panels all day will improve performance. But if it makes it thur an 8 hr. Night, I'd be surprised. Settings, draw, and use age all effect performance. NOBODY can tell you exactly how long it will run it. !BUT! It's Far better than nothing. If keeping things cold, Not frozen is the goal, don't forget youth fridge can keep things cold for a couple hours without power. DO NOT think of this as an easy answer to all your power needs.

You will need a charge controller and wiring cables. We suggest you purchase a complete kit 50W or solar panel bundle 50Watts in our store.

MC4 connectors are used most often, they are weather tight, one each (male-female) from the panel . You will need to splice intoor use a terminal adapter at the batteries.Make sure to use a blocking diode if you are thinking about connecting directly from the PV panel to the battery. Not needed if you have a modern charge controller.Good luck-Bill

It could be done, but 50 watts probably wouldn't do the trick. You could tie together more than one panel, though, for more power, or use a larger panel. If you do buy solar and plan to use a lead-acid battery, spend a little more and buy a PWM controller. (Look at Sunguard controllers). It costs a little more, but you'll get more output from the same panel. Controllers are used to prevent overcharging lead acid batteries. So, in short, it can be done. I love the Instapark panels. I dropped one from my RV and replaced it with the same model. Still need to see if I can have the glass replaced. They are not fragile, though. Have fun. It's a project.

Hey James - you can use any size solar panel as long as you use a regulator between it and your battery or battery bank. I have a 30 watt panel with a little regulator going to a set of 5 of these 35AH batteries. The panel is 20V, the regulator allows that to charge the batteries until they get up to something like 14.2 volts, then cuts off. Keeps the batteries nice and topped off and active for when we need them. I will eventually add more panels in parallel with the current one for faster charging. Here is a link to the regulator I am using: http://www.amazon.com/Sunforce-7-Amp-Charge-Controller/dp/B0006JO0XI/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1384291827&sr=8-2&keywords=solar+regulator This is the panel I am using: http://www.amazon.com/Instapark%C2%AE-Black-Mono-crystalline-Solar-Panel/dp/B004FWW44Y/ref=pd_sim_auto_2
