4. Setup Guide

Setting up your Voominhtec solar panel is quick and easy. Follow these steps for optimal performance:

1. Unfold the Panel: Carefully unbuckle the panel and unfold it completely on a flat surface in direct sunlight.
2. Adjust Kickstands: Locate the built-in adjustable kickstands on the back of the panel. Extend them to prop up the panel at an angle that maximizes exposure to the sun. An angle of approximately 70 degrees to the ground is often ideal for direct sunlight.
3. Connect Cables: Open the accessory pouch on the back of the panel to access the integrated MC4 cable and the 4-in-1 adapter cable.
4. Choose Connector: Select the appropriate connector from the 4-in-1 adapter cable (XT60, DC5525, Anderson, or DC7909) that matches your power station or battery input.
5. Connect to Device: Connect the MC4 cable from the solar panel to the 4-in-1 adapter cable, and then connect the chosen adapter to your compatible power station or battery. Ensure all connections are secure.

5. Operating Instructions

Once set up, your Voominhtec solar panel will begin converting sunlight into electricity. Here are some tips for optimal operation:

• Maximize Sunlight Exposure: Position the panel to receive maximum direct sunlight throughout the day. Adjust its angle periodically as the sun moves across the sky.
• Clear Obstructions: Ensure no shadows from trees, buildings, or other objects fall on the panel, as even partial shading can significantly reduce efficiency.
• Monitor Charging: Most compatible power stations will display the incoming wattage. Monitor this to ensure the panel is performing as expected.
• Compatibility: The panel is widely compatible with most solar generators on the market, including Jackery, Ecoflow, Bluetti, and Anker. For charging 12V/24V batteries (USE, GEL, LI, FLD, SLD), an MPPT controller and alligator clips (not included) are required.

6. Maintenance

Proper maintenance will ensure the longevity and efficiency of your solar panel:

• Cleaning: Regularly wipe the surface of the solar panel with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, and debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the panel for any visible damage, such as cracks, frayed cables, or loose connections.
• Storage: When not in use, fold the panel and secure it with the buckles. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Water Resistance: The ETFE laminated surface provides IP65 water resistance, protecting against splashes and light rain. However, do not submerge the panel or expose it to prolonged heavy rain.
