Quick Guide: Which Solar Panel Fits Your Trail Camera?

Getting the Most From Your Panel

Buying the right solar panel is step one. Installing it correctly is step two. To ensure your camera runs all year round, follow these rules:

• Pre-Charge is Vital: Always fully charge your SP350 or SP1000 using a wall outlet (USB) before taking it to the field. Give it a full tank to start.
• Face South: In the Northern Hemisphere, always point your solar panel due South at a 45-degree angle. This captures the maximum arc of the sun.
• Clear the Canopy: Even partial shade from a single branch can reduce charging efficiency by 50%. Ensure a clear line of sight to the sky.

Never Miss a Moment Again

A trail camera solar panel not only relieves battery stress but also ensures you never miss the footage that matters most. Whether you’re monitoring game trails, securing your farm, or studying wildlife behavior, the right solar panel keeps your camera ready day and night.
