The Inergy Kodiak unit may not charge because it is in Safety Mode. The manual suggests checking page 5 for more details on resolving this issue. Additionally, if the unit is receiving a charge but not increasing in battery percentage, there may be an issue with the charging connections or the battery itself.

SOLAR ENERGY: GENERAL GUIDELINES Solar energy IS as simple as pointing panels at the sun. However, there are many variables that CAN affect the panel’s performance, and as such there are few hard and fast rules involved. Our panels are rated at maximum output in IDEAL CONDITIONS. Below are a few of the most common variables that affect performance, and some safety tips. Ideal Time of Day As a general rule of thumb, the brighter the sun is shining and the clearer the day, the better solar panels will work.

(given the right components), it is easily wired in a SERIES configuration that will cause permanent damage to the Kodiak, as well as a risk of bodily harm or a fire. Pages 14 & 15 in this manual illustrate the correct method for using this type of connector.
