The frame of the Solar MaXX is made from 1/16th inch thick anodized aluminum square tubes with nylon connectors. 

The Solar MaXX rotates a maximum or 120 degrees precisely tracking the sun daily, and then automatically returns in the morning to start the next day. The tracker roates around the handle on a 4 foot radius. Be sure to allow enough space to rotate without running into any objects.

Yes, the Solar MaXX can be secured via a chain or cable and stake (or to the RV) available for purchase separately as an accessory. 

The Solar Maxx has a provision embedded into its electronics that will sense the high wind and safely fold the Solar MaXX down flat to avoid any damage from high winds. 

The Solar MaXX frame, including the wheels, weighs approximately 13 pounds. The 200-watt solar panel weighs approximately 22 pounds. 

There are two ways to connect the Solar MaXX to your rig’s batteries:

1. Connect directly to the batteries using the alligator cable clamps (included).
2. If your rig has an solar panel connection port near the batteries, use the plug on the end of the Solar MaXX charging cable to connect to this port. We also offer a 15’ extension cable accessory so that you can park your rig in the shade and place the Solar MaXX in the sun.

The electronics in the Solar MaXX allow any type of popular RV battery to be charged, including wet-cell, AGM, and lithium batteries.

The Solar MaXX is design to be water proof in raining conditions. All components are either made of Aluminum, stainless steel, or plastic. All electronics are enclosed in watertight boxes for safety. The Solar MaXX is not intended for full submersion in water.

That depends on how much sun is available and how fully charged the batteries are at the time of connection to the Solar MaXX. The Solar MaXX WILL provide the maximum amount of charge to the batteries of your rig that is possible for the solar panel, given the weather conditions, location, and time of year.

The Silver, one-year warranty, comes standard with the Solar MaXX. The Gold, two-year warranty, and the Platinum 3-year warranty are both available for purchase.

Just clean the solar cell when they get dirty to receive the maximum amount of energy to charge your batteries. Clean the Solar MaXX frame only with a clean water damp cloth. Do not emerge either the solar panel or the Solar MaXX under water and do not use a pressure washer at any time.
