Can Solar Panels Be Used with ArkPak 730 Portable Power Station

Solar panels can absolutely be added to the ArkPak 730 Portable Power Station # AP730US to provide a charge for the battery. When doing this though the wire leads from the panel or controller will just need to be attached directly to the external battery terminals on the box.

Charging the battery in this manner requires that the isolator switch be in the "on" position. Keep in mind that the smart charge PCB will be bypassed with this configuration so there won't be any control over the battery voltage. Because of this you will want to connect the MC4 cables from the solar panels to a controller before going to the Power Station. Otherwise you will be at risk of overcharging.
