Package Contents
- 1 x Renogy COMPACT-SUITCASE Portable Solar Panel
- 1 x Case
- 1 x User Manual
- 1 x Controller hook (controller version only)
Installation
1. Open the packaging bag, grasp the handles and pull upwards to extract the COMPACT-SUITCASE section and raise the brackets to their maximum positions. (Illustration shows opening a bag, pulling handles, and extending foldable brackets.)
2. Fully unfold the COMPACT-SUITCASE and place it on the ground. (Illustration depicts the COMPACT-SUITCASE solar panel fully unfolded and placed on a flat surface.)
3. Adjust the angle of the brackets to ensure stability, with the lighting surface facing towards the sun. (Illustration shows the solar panel angled towards the sun. A sun graphic indicates the light source.)
Operation
How to charge a power station
1. Place a solar panel under direct sunlight. Avoid objects that can shade the panel and slow down charging.
2. Connect the solar connectors of the solar panel to the solar charge cable (sold separately), then connect to the DC input port of the power station. (Diagram illustrates connecting a solar panel array via a solar charge cable to the DC input port of a portable power station.)
? The solar charge time is highly dependent on solar irradiance and ambient temperature.
? The operating voltage of the solar panel shall exceed the minimum DC-input voltage of the power station and shall NOT exceed the maximum DC-input voltage.
How to charge a battery
1. Connect the COMPACT-SUITCASE connector to the PV Terminals of a charge controller (sold separately).
2. Connect the BATT Terminals of the charge controller to battery terminals using tray cables (sold separately).
3. Set the charging parameters on the charge controller. The COMPACT-SUITCASE is now ready to charge a battery. (Diagram shows a solar panel array connected to a charge controller, which is then connected to a battery.)
How to connect COMPACT-SUITCASE in series/parallel
To expand power output, COMPACT-SUITCASE panels can be connected in series or parallel.
Series Connection: (Diagram shows two COMPACT-SUITCASE panels connected in series to a power station.)
Parallel Connection: (Diagram shows multiple COMPACT-SUITCASE panels connected in parallel using MC4Y connectors to a power station.)
