Setup Instructions

1. Unfold the Solar Panel: Carefully unfold the FlexSolar 100W panel on a flat surface in direct sunlight.
2. Adjust Kickstands: Utilize the dual adjustable kickstands on the back of the panel to angle it towards the sun for maximum exposure. Optimal angles vary by season and time of day.
3. Connect Charging Cable: Locate the integrated junction box with the output ports. Connect the appropriate 4-in-1 charging adapter cable to the DC output port.
4. Position for Sunlight: Ensure no shadows are cast on the solar panels, as this can significantly reduce efficiency.

Operating Instructions

1. Connect Your Device/Power Station:
   • For power stations: Use the appropriate DC adapter from the 4-in-1 cable to connect to your power station's input port.
   • For mobile devices: Use a compatible USB-A (QC3.0) or USB-C (PD60W) cable to connect your smartphone, tablet, or laptop directly to the panel's output ports.
2. Monitor Charging: The integrated Smart IC chip will automatically detect your device and optimize power delivery. LED indicators on the junction box will show the charging status.
3. Optimal Performance: For best results, ensure the panels are in full, unobstructed sunlight. Reposition the panel as the sun moves to maintain optimal angle.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the solar panels with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, or debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could scratch the surface.
• Storage: When not in use, fold the solar panel and store it in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Inspection: Periodically check cables and connectors for any signs of wear or damage. Replace any damaged components immediately.
• Water Resistance: The panels are IP67-rated waterproof (excluding the junction box). Avoid submerging the junction box in water.

Troubleshooting

• No Charging Output:
  • Ensure the solar panels are in direct, unobstructed sunlight.
  • Check all cable connections to ensure they are secure.
  • Verify that your device or power station is compatible with the panel's output specifications.
  • Cloudy weather or indirect sunlight may cause fluctuations or prevent charging.
• Slow Charging:
  • Adjust the panel's angle to face the sun directly.
  • Clean the panel surface to remove any dirt or dust.
  • High temperatures can reduce solar panel efficiency. Ensure adequate ventilation.
• Incompatible Adapter: Use the provided 4-in-1 charging adapter or ensure any third-party adapters match the required specifications for your power station.
