4. Operation
To ensure your ECO-WORTHY solar panel operates at its peak efficiency, consider the following factors for optimal power generation. The panel is designed to be a versatile power source for various needs.
Optimal power output (up to 400Wh) is achieved under specific conditions: cell temperature around 25°C, air mass of 1.5, and sufficient, durable light exposure.
Inaccurate test results can occur due to energy loss within the power station itself during charging or incorrect range selection and wiring position on measurement devices.

5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficiency of your ECO-WORTHY solar panel. Keep the panel surface clean from dust, dirt, and debris. Use a soft cloth and mild, non-abrasive cleaner with water. Inspect wiring and connections periodically for any signs of wear or damage. Ensure proper ventilation around the panel to prevent overheating, which can reduce efficiency.
6. Troubleshooting
If you experience issues with your solar panel, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:
- No Power Output: Check all connections (MC4 connectors, junction box, charge controller) for secure and correct wiring. Ensure the panel is receiving adequate sunlight and is not shaded. Verify the charge controller settings are appropriate for your battery type.
- Low Power Output: Clean the panel surface thoroughly. Check for partial shading from trees, buildings, or other obstructions. Verify the panel's angle and orientation to the sun. Ensure the battery connected is not already full or experiencing issues.
- Overheating: Ensure there is sufficient airflow around the panel. Panels can lose efficiency when excessively hot. Consider adjusting mounting to allow for better ventilation.
- Physical Damage: Inspect the tempered glass for cracks and the aluminum frame for bends or corrosion. While durable, severe impacts can cause damage.
