Add this Solar Charging Panel to your existing or new Feeder and never worry about recharging ever again. Ideal for situations where 110 volt standard outlet power is difficult to attain. Charging is self monitoring, set it and forget it. Solar Charger can easily be added to an existing unit in minutes. It can come factory installed if purchased with new feeder. It can also be installed and mounted up to 12′ away from the unit with the extension cable, so you can still utilize the sun if you install the X5CD inside or in an area with minimal sunlight.

Frequently asked Questions
Does the Solar Panel have a warranty?
The Solar Panel has a 5 year manufacture warranty.Can I use a Solar Panel if my Feeder is mounted inside?
Yes. There are several ways to achieve this. The Solar panel can be mounted in any nearby window with sun exposure. Another method is to mount the Solar Panel outside in a location with sun exposure. If the wire provided is too short to reach back to the feed dispenser an extension wire of any length can be purchased from Equine Automation for a small fee to accommodate your arrangement.How much sun does the Solar Panel need?
As little as 4 hours a week of moderate sunlight will maintain the battery. As mentioned earlier the battery reserve will run the feed dispenser for up to 6 weeks, so long periods of overcast can easily be tolerated.Can I add the Solar Panel to my existing Feed Dispenser?
Absolutely, your new panel will need to be mounted to the current cover (or any surface with some direct sun exposure) and the wire lead plugged into the recharge port located near the controller.Does the Solar Panel work in snow cover?
The Solar Panel will need to be clear of snow cover to be effective. Typically snow will melt off before the battery will need recharging. Battery life without recharge is estimated at 4-6 weeks.Do I need to disconnect the Solar Panel when battery is fully charged?
No, the Solar Panel has a built in micro logic controller. It will automatically shut off and restart as needed and never overcharge the battery. It will actually extend battery life.Is the Solar Panel weather proof?
Yes, it is designed to be used year round in all weather.
