Wanneer de zon het zonnepaneel raakt, wordt de energie opgeslagen in een batterij. Als je de duisternis wilt laten oplichten, schakel je hem gewoon in door op de grote knop te drukken. Dankzij de superefficiënte sunboost-chip absorbeert WakaWaka de maximale hoeveelheid stroom uit zonlicht. De WakaWaka Power + en WakaWaka Base hebben een speciale extra functie: een oplaadfunctie. Sluit een 5V oplaadbaar USB-apparaat aan en de WakaWakas zullen het opladen.
We geven twee jaar garantie op defecten in werking en materiaal, waaronder ook batterijen. Binnen deze periode kunnen gebruikers de WakaWaka terug sturen.
Nee, niet elke WakaWaka heft een zonnepaneel waarmee apparaten kunnen worden opgeladen. De WakaWaka’s met een ingebouwd zonnepaneel zijn:
De beste manier om je WakaWaka op te laden is in de directe zon en zonder enige blokkade van de zonnepanelen.
Filtering van het zonlicht door een glazen raam vermindert de oplaadcapaciteit aanzienlijk. Het glas blokkeert een deel van de Uv-stralen, waardoor er minder straling de zonnepanelen bereikt en er minder zonlicht kan worden omgezet in elektriciteit. Wij raden aan de WakaWaka op te laden in de ochtend- of avondzon. Probeer de zonnepanelen door de dag heen naar de zon te richten.
Hoe verder je bent verwijderd van de evenaar, hoe langer de oplaadtijd op zonne-energie bedraagt.

If you’re going out overnight or want to light up your outdoor adventures, go for the WakaWaka Light. It takes only 5 to 8 hours of sun to fully charge and it will light you up for 40 hours.
Want to stay connected during your outdoor trip as well as lighting up your nights? The WakaWaka Power+ is very convenient, you can take it anywhere as it is compact and lightweight. You can easily hang it from your bag pack for example. It also withstands any adventure thanks to its rugged, scratchproof design.
Positioned under full sun, it will take approximately 18 hours to fully charge and will enable you to charge appr. the equivalent of 1,5 phones. This product is optimal when you have access to the grid now and then (3 hours to fully charge via the grid) and you use the sun as a top-up when needed.
When barely having access to the grid but wanting to stay connected, go for our WakaWaka Solar Panel + Power 5 or WakaWaka Solar Panel + Power 10. You can charge up to 5 devices at the same time, so none of them will end up as deadweights in your backpack. You’ll get your Power5 fully charged in 4 to 8 hours under the sun, and your Power10 in 6 to 12h. On the move? Simply fold the panel to a compact, convenient size.
Depending on the season, the weather condition (fog, clouds), the altitude, the dust in the atmosphere, the distance from the equator and other variables, it can be more or less difficult to fully charge the WakaWaka with solar power. For example, an hour of sun in the winter gives less UV-light than an hour of sun in the summer.
The further you are from the equator, the longer it will take to fully charge the WakaWaka via the sun.
It takes approximately 18 hours of direct sunlight to fully charge your WakaWaka Power+, 5 to 10 hours to fully charge your WakaWaka Light, 4 to 8 hours for your Power5 and 6 to 12 hours for your Power10.
When your WakaWaka is almost completely out of charge, it can take a lot of time to charge the first 25% (from 0 to 1 light). This is also the case for the last 25% of charge (from 3 to 4 lights). This is to protect the battery of your WakaWaka. In short, charging between 25% and 75% is relatively quicker than charging to 25% or beyond 75%. Therefore, we advise you to not let your WakaWaka drain completely before recharging.
Our mission is to provide solar power to families caught in crisis and living without access to electricity. We want to reach as many people living off-grid as possible and we work together with carefully selected partners to help us reach that goal.
You can only donate to the projects that we have carefully selected. We have chosen to only distribute WakaWakas in emergency aid programs / humanitarian crises, such as refugee camps and natural disasters, or through established structural programmes. The reason why we do this is because we do not want to spoil the existing solar market in those countries.
Plus, we distribute the donated WakaWakas in large batches so the logistical costs are low. The lower the costs, the more WakaWakas we can distribute.
We warrant that WakaWaka products will be free from defects in workmanship and material under normal consumer use for 2 years.
The warranty period starts on the purchase date and the sales receipt from this purchase, or any other reasonable documentary proof, is required in order to establish the start date of the warranty period.
We will replace any WakaWaka product that fails to operate during those 2 years due to a defect in workmanship or material. The warranty does not apply to any product that is misused, abused, modified, damaged by accident, or used for anything other than normal consumer use.
If you live in Switzerland, you can order from our distributor Thali.
You can also check on Amazon, they deliver some of our products in a few countries.
But if you don’t find one through this mean, unfortunately we cannot ship individual units to a country that is not on our shipping list, so you’ll have to wait to get your own WakaWaka. 🙁
