2. check the battery display. if it is at 20% or below, recharge your kodak ppS600.

Recharging via solar panels takes longer than it is supposed to.
charging via solar panels is subject to various influences. we have listed a few here for you.
1.
not all solar charge times are created equal. most solar panel manufacturers calculate recharge times
using the following equation: Devices Watt Hours / Solar Panel Watts = Solar Recharge Times.
So theoretically, a 13w solar panel would charge a 50 wh battery pack in 3.84 hours (50/13 = 3.84) – and
this is the number you could find in marketing material for a solar panel. however, in order to standardize
results across all manufacturers, these tests are completed in laboratory settings. the truth is, on a good,
sunny day, you'll received about 50-75% of your solar panel's rated wattage.
2. perfect placement is key. although you should seek out the shade on sunny days, your solar panels
will collect more energy when fully exposed to the sunlight. windows also have a habit of decreasing
efficiency. So keep those panels outside and in the bright sunlight and align them properly.
