Chaining; Frequently Asked Questions - GOAL ZERO NOMAD 20 Manual Del Usuario

CHAINING

Chaining panels is a great way to collect more power from
the sun and recharge devices quicker. You can chain up to
150W of solar panels together. We recommend no more than
four in a chain (see the NOTE below).
1. Plug the 8mm Charge Cable into another Nomad Solar
Panel's 8mm input.
2. Using the 8mm Charge Cable of the final panel, plug
into a Sherpa Power Bank or Goal Zero Yeti Portable
Power Station. You could also plug into the USB port on
the last panel to charge USB powered devices.
NOTE
After four solar panels are chained together, you might notice
something called line loss, which has to do with the loss of
voltages over long distances. The farther the power has to
travel through cables, from panel to panel, the more power you
will lose.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: Is the Nomad 20 waterproof?
A: The best answer: it's weatherproof. We've gone to great
lengths to ruggedize the Nomad 20; including beefing up the
manufacturing process with advanced lamination techniques so
it'll slough off rain and snow.
Q: Does the Nomad 20 have a built-in battery?
A: No. In order to make the Nomad 20 as lightweight as possible,
we chose to sell batteries as an optional accessory. You can
either plug your phone or device into the Nomad 20 to charge
up directly from the sun, or pair the panel with one of our power
banks to collect and store power for later. The Nomad 20 works
seamlessly with our line of ultra-portable Flip Power Banks,
versatile Sherpa Power Banks, or small Yeti Power Stations.
Q: Is this chainable with other Nomad panels?
A: Yes, but only on some Goal Zero Nomad Solar Panels. You can
plug the Charge Cable into the chaining ports on Nomad 20
Solar Panels and larger.
