3. Setup

1. Unfold the Solar Panel: Carefully unfold the solar panel on a flat surface.
2. Position the Kickstands: Extend the four built-in kickstands on the back of the panel.
3. Adjust Angle: Adjust the panel's angle to face the sun directly for maximum efficiency. The optimal angle is typically 90 degrees to the sun's rays.
4. Connect to Power Station: Use the provided MC-4 cable and appropriate adapter (XT60/ANDERSON/DC5521/DC7909) to connect the solar panel to your portable power station.
5. Connect USB Devices: For direct charging of USB devices, use the integrated USB-A or USB-C ports.

4. Operating Instructions

Once the solar panel is set up and connected, it will automatically begin generating power.

Charging Power Stations

Connect the MC-4 cable to the solar panel's output and then use the appropriate adapter to plug into your power station's input port. The power station's display will show the incoming wattage.

Charging USB Devices

Open the controller pocket on the solar panel and connect your USB-powered devices (phones, tablets, etc.) directly to the USB-A or USB-C ports. The smart IC chip will optimize the charging speed.

5. Maintenance

The ZOUPW 200W solar panel is designed for durability with its ETFE coating and IP67 waterproof rating.

Cleaning

To maintain optimal performance, regularly wipe the solar panel surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, or debris. Ensure the panel is dry before folding or storing.

Storage

When not in use, fold the panel and secure it with the magnetic handle. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

Important Note: The controller box is not waterproof. Ensure it is protected from water immersion.

6. Troubleshooting

Low Power Output

All solar panels are tested to reach 200W before shipment. However, actual charging power may be less than 200W due to various factors such as:

• Solar intensity (cloudy days, time of day)
• Panel orientation and angle to the sun
• Obstructions (shadows from trees, buildings)

To maximize power output, adjust the four kickstands to ensure the panel faces direct sunlight without any obstructions.
