How to Use
1. Unfolding the Panel:
- Carefully unfold the solar panel. Ensure all panels are laid flat.
- Position the panel in direct sunlight, ideally facing the sun at an optimal angle. For best results, use a sun-tracking app or adjust the panel throughout the day.
2. Connecting Devices:
The panel features multiple output ports:
- DC Output: Use the provided DC cable to connect to compatible power stations or devices. Ensure the voltage and current match the device's input requirements. (DC Output Port)
- USB-A Ports: Connect smartphones, tablets, or other USB-powered devices directly. (USB-A Ports)
- USB-C PD Port: Connect compatible laptops, smartphones, or other USB-C devices requiring higher power delivery (up to 60W). (USB-C PD Port)
Diagram Description: A visual representation shows the unfolded solar panel with its various ports labeled: a main DC output port, two standard USB-A ports, and one USB-C Power Delivery port. Arrows indicate how to connect charging cables from devices to these ports.
Diagram Description: An illustration demonstrates the optimal placement of the solar panel. It shows the panel angled towards the sun, with a sun icon overhead and rays hitting the panel surface directly. An arrow indicates the direction of sunlight. Another diagram shows the panel positioned on the ground, propped up by its integrated kickstands for optimal angle.
Safety Precautions
- ⚠️ Do not disassemble or modify the solar panel. Doing so may cause damage or electric shock.
- ⚠️ Avoid exposing the panel to water or excessive moisture, especially around the connection ports. While the fabric may be water-resistant, the electronic components are not fully waterproof.
- ⚠️ Keep the panel away from sharp objects and corrosive substances.
- ⚠️ Do not place heavy objects on the panel, as this can damage the solar cells.
- ⚠️ Ensure proper ventilation when charging devices in enclosed spaces.
- ⚠️ Never look directly at the sun through the solar panel.
- ⚠️ Use only approved cables and connectors.
- ⚠️ Keep out of reach of children.
Troubleshooting
Issue: Panel not charging devices.
- Check Sunlight: Ensure the panel is placed in direct, strong sunlight and is not shaded.
- Check Connections: Verify that all cables are securely plugged into both the panel and the device.
- Check Device Compatibility: Ensure the device being charged is compatible with the panel's output specifications.
- Check Panel Condition: Inspect the panel for any visible damage.
Issue: Slow charging speed.
- Sunlight Intensity: Charging speed is directly dependent on sunlight intensity. Cloudy conditions or partial shade will reduce output.
- Panel Angle: Ensure the panel is optimally angled towards the sun.
- Device Power Draw: Some devices may have internal power management that limits charging speed.
