  • Auto-Recovery Charging: The panel features an auto-recovery charging function that automatically resumes charging when sunlight returns after an interruption, eliminating the need for manual reconnection.

Maintenance

  • IP67 Waterproof ETFE Coating: The advanced ETFE lamination provides superior durability, heat resistance, and light transmittance. The panel is fully IP67 waterproof against rain and splashes. The zippered pocket protects the built-in controller and cables from moisture.

  • Cleaning: The ETFE surface is easy to wipe clean if it gets dirty or has light rain on it.

Troubleshooting

  • Low Power Output:
    • Ensure the solar panel surface is oriented towards the sunlight and perpendicular to it. Improper angling will reduce power output.
    • Avoid laying the solar panel flat on the ground unless the sun is directly overhead (at noon) to achieve optimal charging efficiency.
    • Check for any shading on the panel. Even partial shading can significantly reduce efficiency.
  • Charging Speed: The charging speed depends on your power station's maximum input limit. For example, a 60W limit station will only draw 60W from this 100W panel. Always check your power station's specifications.
  • No Charging After Interruption: The auto-recovery function should automatically resume charging. If not, ensure all connections are secure and reposition the panel for optimal sunlight.
