Product Description
The Renogy Firefly 20W portable solar system combines highly efficient Renogy Solar Panels, a
solar charger, a power inverter and a Lithium Polymer battery into a robust, waterproof case
creating an easy-to-use, ‘plug and play’back-up system.
This system is specifically designed for mobile off-grid applications, where space and weight
limitations are abundant. The Renogy Firefly 20W portable solar system is the perfect system for
emergencies providing up to 175 Watt-hours of energy. The built-in solar charge controller allows
the expansion of an additional 12v solar panel (Max. 50w).

AC output
Once the Main switch is ON, press the AC output switch to turn the internal inverter on.
Figure 3. Turning ON the AC output
When the AC output is turned ON, the LCD display will light up blue, and “AC OUT” along
with the light bulb icon will be shown.
Figure 4. Digital Display when AC output is ON
The AC output can now be used. The maximum load it can handle is 120 Watts. Please
do not overload the output, doing so may damage the unit. Please turn OFF the AC
output when not in use. Inverters have small idle power consumption, leaving the
switch ON will drain the battery over time.

When the DC output is turned ON, the LCD display will light up blue, and “DC OUT”
along with the light bulb icon will be shown.
Figure 6. Digital Display when DC output is ON
The DC output can now be used. Please limit the current load for each DC output. Please
do not overload the output, doing so may damage the unit. Please turn OFF the DC
output when not in use. Figure 7 shows the maximum current per DC output.

AC and DC outputs
The AC and DC outputs can be ON at the same time. When the Main switch is ON, press
the AC output switch and then the DC output switch (or vice versa) to turn both outputs
on.
When both outputs are turned ON, the LCD display will light up blue, and “DC OUT” and
“AC OUT” along with the light bulb icon will be shown.

Charging
Charging via Solar
If not planning on using the unit while charging with solar, make sure that the Main
switch is in the OFF position.
Find a dry and sunny location that is free from overhanging tree branches, obstructions
or shading. Unclip the two latches on the side of the unit and open the top cover
completely as shown in Figure 9.
Figure 9. Charging via solar panels
When charging with the built-in 2x10w solar modules, it will take about 13 hours to fully
recharge the internal battery.

Charging with additional solar panels
To speed up the charging time, a 12V solar panel can be used at the DC input terminal
with a maximum of input of 50 Watts.

If planning on using the unit while charging with solar, make sure that the Main switch is
in the ON position. Then turn ON the desired output. AC and DC outputs can also be
used while the unit is being charged by solar however, limit the current output to the
values mentioned earlier.
Charging via AC
When charging via AC 2-pin inlet, make sure that the Main Switch is in the OFF position.
It is recommended that when charging via AC input do not use the AC and DC output
terminals.
Connect the 2-pin inlet AC cable that is included with the unit. The unit can be charged
in vertical or horizontal position. Figure 11 shows the unit being charged horizontally
with the AC cable.
