Hiya, Our 1500x is not acknowledging solar input. Via multimeter, over 20 volts are coming in but nothing registers as input and no charge occurs. The GZ does accept AC charge.

Can I use a Nomad 200 with Yeti 500x?
If so, how, and what do I need to connect and make sure I don’t overcharge the Yeti 500x? The specs for 500x says max input of 180 watts but also shows charging time for a Boulder 200 at 3-4.5 hours. So can I use the Nomad 200 to charge the Yeti 500x and if so, how? Thx

We have an older Boulder briefcase. I am trying to find out what kind of connector this has. We purchased a small new goal zero phone power bank and wanted to find out if there is a way to adapt this to be able to charge it with our older solar panel. The flip 24 only has a usb connector. The connector on the panel looks…

How do it clean or recondition the plastic on my Nomad 100 panel?
3 out of 4 of the segments on my Nomad 100 have become very fogged. I haven't used any abrasives cleaning it, just some dawn and a sponge followed by a rinse. Is there a better way to clean them up? Output has gotten much lower over the years too. Only about 40w on my Yeti 1000 via the mppt on full sun at solar noon.

What voltage do the panels operate?
I know the panels collect different amounts of energy (Watts), but what voltage levels do they operate? I know Watts = Volts x Amps, so this will help me understand the different electrical variables involved. Why would the solar panels operate at different voltages?

Input solar power into Yeti 6000x via car link?
Hi, I have a yeti 6000x with the Yeti car link. Do I need a separate mppt controller to input power from 2 x 100w Boulder solar panels into the 8mm input on the Yeti Car Link? Or is energy input into that port managed by the internal mppt controller in the Yeti 6000x? I understand that by inputting solar energy into the…

Limits / guidelines on cable length -- solar panels
I currently have the standard 4-way splitter and a 35' cable to bring power from my 3 Boulder 200's. Chasing the winter sun, it appears as if moving the panels onto some dormant raised beds further from the house would be necessary, and the 35' cable likely won't quite cut it (my Yeti is in a climate controlled cellar and…
