3. Setup Guide
- Unfold the Solar Panel: Gently unfold the BeoYjVon solar panel. It is designed to fold compactly for portability.
- Positioning: Place the solar panel in direct sunlight. Utilize the integrated kickstands on the back of the panel to adjust its angle. Aim for an angle that maximizes sunlight absorption, typically between 45-75 degrees relative to the ground, depending on the sun's position.
- Connect Cables: Open the zippered pocket on the panel to access the integrated cables and controller. Select the appropriate cable (e.g., XT60, Anderson, DC5521, DC7909) or DC adapter for your power station.
- Connect to Power Station/Device: Plug the chosen cable into the input port of your compatible power station. For direct device charging, use the USB-A or USB-C ports on the controller.

5. Maintenance
To ensure the long-lasting performance of your BeoYjVon solar panel, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Regularly wipe the surface of the solar panels with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, or debris. A clean surface ensures maximum sunlight absorption.
- Waterproof Rating: The panel utilizes ETFE coating material and has an IP65 waterproof rating, making it resistant to water splashes and dust. However, the control box (where the ports are located) is not waterproof. Avoid soaking the control box in water or exposing it to heavy rain for extended periods to prolong the lifespan of the product.
- Storage: When not in use, fold the solar panel and store it in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Cable Care: Ensure all cables and connectors are free from damage. Store them neatly in the integrated pocket to prevent tangling or wear.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your solar panel, consider the following:
- Low Power Output:
- Sunlight Conditions: Ensure the panel is in direct, unobstructed sunlight. Cloud cover, shade from trees or buildings, and time of day significantly affect output.
- Angle and Orientation: Adjust the panel's angle using the kickstands to face the sun directly. Optimal angles vary with the season and your geographical location.
- Power Station Input Limit: Some portable power stations have a maximum input power limit. Even in optimal sunlight, the power received by your power station will not exceed its limit, which might be lower than 100W. This does not indicate insufficient output from the solar panel. Verify your power station's specifications.
- Temperature: High temperatures can slightly reduce solar panel efficiency.
- Panel Aging: Over time, all solar panels experience a slight decrease in efficiency.
- Shading: Even partial shading of a single cell can significantly reduce the overall output of the panel.
- No Charging:
- Connections: Check all cable connections to ensure they are secure and correctly plugged into both the solar panel and your device/power station.
- Cable Damage: Inspect cables for any visible damage or wear.
- Device Compatibility: Ensure your device or power station is compatible with the panel's output specifications.
