How to Use CARRY THE SUN®
Pull the top and bottom straps to form a cube.
When folding, gently press down from the top.
Charging method
Solar insolation increases with sunrise and peaks around noon.
We recommend charging the device over several days, using the times indicated on the right as a guideline.
Additionally, even during optimal hours, charging may take longer depending on the season and weather (if it's not clear skies).
Daylight hours and solar insolation are longer and higher in spring/summer than in autumn/winter. The amount of charge also depends on the angle at which direct sunlight hits. Please try to ensure the sunlight hits the panel as directly as possible. If stored after charging, approximately 60% of the charge will remain after one year, but regularly expose it to sunlight for charging as a checkup.
The sun is constantly moving, so please ensure the solar panel is not in the shade. Even on a clear day, sunlight reflects off window glass, so charging through a window will take a long time. It takes approximately 7-9 hours of direct sunlight to charge from zero to full. *Please do not leave or charge in high-temperature locations such as inside a car. *Please turn off the light when charging.
