6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Sunslice Fusion FLEX 6, please refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Device Not Charging:
  • Ensure the solar panel is in direct, strong sunlight. Partial shade or cloudy conditions will significantly reduce output.
  • Check that the USB cable is securely connected to both the solar panel and your device.
  • Verify that your device is compatible with 5V/1.2A charging. Some devices may require higher input.
  • Test with a different USB cable and/or device to rule out cable or device issues.
• Slow Charging:
  • Charging speed is directly dependent on sunlight intensity. Move the panel to a location with maximum direct sunlight.
  • Ensure the panel surface is clean and free from dust or debris.
  • The panel's output is 6W. Larger devices or power banks may charge slower than smaller devices like smartphones.

If the problem persists after trying these steps, please contact Sunslice customer support for further assistance.
