6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your solar panel, consider the following:

• No Charging Output:
  • Ensure the solar panel is in direct sunlight and not shaded.
  • Check all cable connections to ensure they are secure and correctly plugged in.
  • Verify that your device is compatible with the output specifications of the solar panel.
  • Clean the solar panel surface if it is dirty.
• Slow Charging:
  • Adjust the panel's angle to face the sun directly.
  • Ensure there are no partial shadows on the panel.
  • Charging speed is dependent on sunlight intensity; cloudy conditions will result in slower charging.
• Damaged Cables/Connectors: If any cables or connectors appear damaged, discontinue use and contact customer support for replacement.
