FAQs
What is the battery capacity of the Zeiss Solar Panel Mini?
The Zeiss Solar Panel Mini has a built-in lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 5,000 mAh (18.5 Wh).
What devices is this solar panel compatible with?
It is designed for compatibility with all ZEISS 12V and 6V devices, including their Secacam trail cameras.
How long is the connection cable?
The cable included with the Zeiss Solar Panel Mini is 5 meters long.
Can this solar panel withstand harsh weather conditions?
Yes, it features IP66-rated housing, making it resistant to rain, snow, dust, and extreme temperatures ranging from -20°C to 55°C.
How do I ensure the solar panel is generating maximum power?
Proper alignment is crucial. Use the included mounting system to precisely angle the panel towards the sun throughout the day, adjusting for seasonal changes and latitude. Keep the panel surface clean.
What is the output voltage and current?
The output voltage is switchable between 12V (1A) and 6V (1.5A).
Does the panel require direct sunlight to charge the internal battery?
While it performs best in direct sunlight, the high-efficiency cells can still generate some charge in overcast conditions. However, significant charging relies on direct sun exposure.
Troubleshooting
Trail camera is not receiving power or is intermittently losing power.
Ensure the solar panel is receiving direct sunlight. Check that the 5m cable is securely connected to both the panel and the camera. Verify that the panel's output voltage (6V or 12V) matches the camera's requirement. Clean the solar panel surface if it is dirty.
The internal battery is not charging effectively.
Confirm the panel is angled correctly towards the sun. Remove any obstructions blocking sunlight. Clean the panel surface. Ensure the operating temperature is within the specified range (-20°C to 55°C).
Device shows 'low power' warnings despite solar panel connection.
The device may be consuming more power than the panel can currently generate or the battery can supply. This can happen during prolonged periods of low light or if the battery is fully depleted and requires significant charging time. Ensure the panel is optimally positioned and allow several days of good sunlight for the battery to fully recharge.
Panel appears damaged or connection is faulty.
Inspect the panel, cable, and connectors for any physical damage. If damage is found, contact customer support for repair or replacement options. Do not attempt to use a damaged unit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Mounting: Utilize the included ZEISS Universal Mount, screws, locking bolts, and camouflage tree strap to securely attach the solar panel. Choose a location that receives maximum direct sunlight throughout the day, free from shade.
Alignment: Use the rotating head of the mount to precisely angle the panel towards the sun's path for optimal energy capture. The ideal angle will vary by season and latitude.
Connection: Connect the 5-meter cable to your ZEISS trail camera or compatible 6V/12V device. Ensure the connection is secure.
Compatibility:
Compatible with all ZEISS 12V and 6V devices.
Power output: 12V/1A - 6V/1.5A
Input: 5V/2A (for initial charging or supplementary charging via USB Type-C if needed, though primarily designed for solar input).
Care:
Cleaning: Periodically wipe the solar panel surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt, dust, or debris that can reduce efficiency. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
