The Solarmonkey plus Solarnut is a solar charger plus backup power pack

The solarmonkey uses two solar panels to charges your device, it does NOT hold a charge. The Solarnut is the battery that holds the solar power for when needed to charge a device.

The Solarmonkey can be connected directly to your phone, iPod, PDA, PSP and more, enabling you to recharge without the need for batteries or a mains power supply.
The Solarmonkey now comes complete with a velcro strap, enabling you to attach it to a rucksack - perfect for keeping your gadgets charged while travelling.

Specially designed to work with the solarmonkey, the included solarnut stores the solar energy so that if a sunny day turns cloudy whilst you're using your solarmonkey, charging of your device is not affected. It will regulate the supply of power to your device.

solarnut can also be used as a stand alone emergency charger, providing you with up to a quarter of mobile phone power or at least 15 minutes of talktime. To make the most of your solarnut, recharge it (via solarmonkey) at least once every 2-3 months.

FAQs

Q: Where can I buy additional tips for my solarmonkey?

A: You can purchase additional tips (monkey nuts) online HERE..

Q: Is the solarmonkey available in different colours?

A: The solarmonkey is currently only available in grey.

Q: How do I charge the solarnut?

A: The solarnut is designed to be charged only by the solarmonkey. You should leave the solarmonkey connected to the solarnut in the sun for around 4 hours to give it a good charge. Please ensure the solarnut is always topped up so it gives best performance.

Q: Is the solarmonkey waterproof?

A: No, the solarmonkey is water resistant. This means that if it is left outside and it begins to rain, no damage will be done to the panel. The solarmonkey should not be left in the rain for extended periods of time.

Q: What is the solar panel made from?

A: The solar panel is made from polycrystalline which gives it a distinctive look and is sometimes mistakenly deemed as being cracked. The solar panels are then sealed with a special glue which can give a slightly uneven surface to the panel.

Q: Does the solarmonkey store power?

A: No, the solarmonkey itself does not store power. However, the solarnut can store enough power to give you a small charge on your mobile phone.

Q: What is the solarnut and why do I need it?

A: The solarnut is a small battery which helps the solarmonkey to charge your device. The solarnut regulates the output power from the panel, so when the panel cannot generate the correct voltageyour device needs, the solarnut will take over. The solarnut can also store enough power to give your device a small charge without the need for it to be connected to the solar panel.

Q: How can I get the best performance from my solarmonkey?

A: To get the best performance from your solarmonkey, please read the steps below:

ensure the solarmonkey is in direct sunlight (glass will not allow the solarmonkey to work efficiently)
Allow the solarmonkey 30 seconds to soak up the sun before plugging it into your device
Make sure the solarmonkey is facing the sun and rotate the panels as the sun moves through the sky throughout the day
Make sure the solar panels are clean and free from any dust or dirt
Please do not expect the solarmonkey to work on an overcast day or when the solar strength is not at the recommended level.
