How to Use

First, please check the sunlight environment.
Place the Solar Panel under strong sunlight (e.g., between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM; effective illumination times vary by country).
Angle solar panels toward the sunlight's vertical direction to achieve maximum solar energy conversion efficiency.
Do not place any obstructions that might cast shadows on the panel.

How to Chain Multiple Solar Panels

You can chain up to 4 solar panels together. The currents will be additive when connected in parallel.

Steps:

Using the DC5525 to DC5521 extension cable (AWG#18), plug the DC5525 connector into the 18V port of one panel.
Connect the other DC5521 connector to the parallel port on the next solar controller box.
The remaining 18V port will deliver total output current for powering laptops, generators, or other 18V DC-powered devices. (Note: This applies only to 18V ports; USB port output remains unchanged).

Diagram Description: The diagram shows multiple solar panels connected in parallel to a central controller box, which then distributes power to a laptop and a battery pack.

Notifications

For optimal charging, use the panel under sunny conditions. On cloudy days, the current is lower, resulting in slower charging speeds.

Important Notes

Charging speed is slow on cloudy days.
The ALLPOWERS solar charger can easily charge smartphones, laptops, and other electronic products.
Check the indicator light: An illuminated LED indicator signifies that the output current is functioning.
Ensure proper connection between your device and the product using the provided cables or specified cables. The product features overcharge protection technology, which automatically shuts off when your device's battery is full.
Verify if your smartphone/laptop or other devices are charging. If the charging current for an 18V/100W device is less than 2A due to insufficient sunlight, and most laptops require over 3A, it may not charge. If your laptop is not charging, it is recommended to turn it off and recharge it.
For vehicle batteries: use "live" lighter socket. For cars/boats, use red/black clamps to battery terminals. Disconnect after starting.
Important: Before connecting to your battery, disconnect the red [+] and black [-] clamps from the solar panel. To remove the product, first disconnect the solar panel, then remove the alligator clips and battery connection. Keep terminals and battery casing clean.

Caution

Do not scratch panel surface to avoid small cracks that could affect output and potentially cause injury.
Position for direct sunlight for optimal charging. If solar energy is low, charging will be slow.
The solar panel's water-resistance rating is IP66, making it rainproof and usable in water for short periods. However, it is forbidden to immerse it in water for extended durations. If short-circuiting occurs due to water immersion, stop use and contact the seller.
The maximum temperature of the solar collectors can reach 60°C during operation when recharged by solar energy.
If the solar panel is unusable on a cloudy day, you can use a 1000W bath heater. Open the heater, place it 20-30cm from a lamp to achieve 50-60% efficiency for a short test.
If the solar panel is defective, do not use it. For professional maintenance or repairs, contact the manufacturer's after-sales service or a qualified technician. Do not attempt to self-repair.
