The panel supports plug types 2, 6, and 4.
Power behavior¶
- Daylight, uncovered: supplies connected devices and charges the attached truck battery at 2 energy per second.
- Night, usable battery attached: connected devices draw from the truck battery according to their energy usage.
- Night, no usable battery: no output.
- Roof detected: generation and battery output both stop.
The shelter check updates periodically. A panel placed under a roof displays a placement warning and cannot deliver power.
