4. Operating Instructions

The EF ECOFLOW 110W Portable Solar Panel is designed for high efficiency and ease of use. Follow these guidelines for optimal performance:

• Sunlight Exposure: Ensure the solar panel is positioned in direct sunlight without any obstructions (e.g., shadows from trees or buildings).
• Angle Adjustment: Regularly adjust the panel's angle throughout the day to maintain direct exposure to the sun as it moves across the sky. This maximizes the 23% conversion rate.
• Monitoring Charge: If connected to an EF ECOFLOW power station, monitor the charging input wattage and battery percentage on the power station's display or via its mobile application.
• Weather Resistance: The panel features an IP68 waterproof and dustproof rating, allowing it to withstand various outdoor elements. However, for prolonged periods of heavy rain or extreme weather, it is recommended to store the panel.

5. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your solar panel:

• Cleaning: Regularly clean the surface of the solar panel with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, and debris. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals that could scratch the surface.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the panel for any physical damage, such as cracks, dents, or frayed cables. Ensure all connections are tight and free from corrosion.
• Storage: When not in use, fold the solar panel and store it in its kickstand case in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Cable Care: Handle connection cables with care. Avoid bending them sharply or placing heavy objects on them.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your EF ECOFLOW 110W Portable Solar Panel, consider the following:

• No Power Output:
  - Ensure the panel is in direct sunlight and not shaded.
  - Verify all cables are securely connected to both the solar panel and the power station.
  - Check the power station's input display for any error messages.
• Low Power Output:
  - Adjust the panel's angle to face the sun directly. The sun's position changes throughout the day.
  - Clean the panel surface to remove any dirt or dust that may be blocking sunlight.
  - Ensure there are no partial shadows on the panel, as even small shadows can significantly reduce output.
  - Cloudy weather will naturally reduce power output.
• Connection Issues:
  - Disconnect and reconnect all cables to ensure a proper fit.
  - If using an adapter, ensure it is compatible and functioning correctly.

If problems persist after following these steps, contact customer support for further assistance.
