What is Amorphous Solar technology?
Amorphous solar panels are created through a deposition process which forms the silicon material directly on the glass. More simply explained the silicon is sprayed on to the glass in very thin layers, commonly known as thin film solar panels. This process allows amorphous solar panels to be better at generating electricity in all lighting conditions.
Should the Solar Battery Maintainer be disconnected from the vehicle battery before starting the engine?
The Solar battery maintainer can remain connected and it will not affect the operation of the vehicle or operation of any of the electrical components.
