You can indeed take the plastic off of the solar panel on the back of the device however it is the plastic case that mounts the device to the windshield. No plastic case equals no windshield "mount-ability"...

Hi. When I bought mine there was a clear piece of plastic covering the solar panel. Look for an edge to peel up, if you can't find anything, then they probably didn't put it on yours. No big deal.

Take the two Phillips head screws on each side of panel remove panel for access to meter

Yes, if you have a usb charging cable simply plug it into the solar charger and then plug it into your phone.

Yes you can, you just need a small screw driver to get the panel in the back open.

There is a smoked plastic panel, however, I believe you can remove it if needed or wanted.

Pretty sure you can't. That is why I got rid of mine and bought a better brand. I took this one apart and it is just a maze of cheap Chinese plastic inside.

There isn't any other plastic covering,except that green in the picture which is plastic .I used this for my outside solar lights,which works fine.Do not leave them in during the rainy season due to moister.One end is not like a regular battery,more flat.These are specialty batteries,unless your remote requires them.I had to make adjustments in order to fit my specialty solar lamps.

There is a specil 3prong connector to the generator -green, white and red - it is the only connector to use and to solar panel you can cut and splice anything to it. You would have to buy a panel fron them in order to have a connector on it like theirs

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.

I would have to think you could as long as the solar panel gets enough sun. However, this unit worked for less than a year and I would not buy another one like this. There are better units on the market.

I seem to remember the package saying the solar panel also charges the battery. I have had mine for over two years and have never needed to replace the battery. Looking at the back it doesn't seem to be made to open up.

Yes it's sitting on my window sill charging it's solar panel. You can also carry it by the handle.

I don't know I would think you would need to ask the manufacturer. There is a piece of plastic that goes over the front but I am not using it at this time.

No you can not, you will damage the conductivity in the panels themselves. These are not built to support weight and con only be rolled down to a minimum size before you damage them too.

I have done that,but it breaks the warranty. If it has one, its fine though. I honestly think they work better on my solar batteries when I cut the wires and run them to it anyway.

You can use the device without the solar panels connected. The panels are just used to charge the device.
