• Some energy sources are more reliable than others. Know the type of electricity and the current you are putting into your Patriot Power Generator. For instance, if you have a Patriot Power Generator and two DC 12V 100-watt solar panels, you know that when connected to the Patriot Power Generator and in direct sunlight, the panels will give approximately 200 Watts of DC at 18V energy to the battery.

• The Patriot Power Generator is designed with only one DC input port. If using more than one of our 4Patriots 100w panels, the panels will need to be daisy-chained. If using more than one of our 4Patriots 60w panels, multiple panels can be connected to the unit using a barrel-DC port splitter (sold separately).
