What are precautions for storing the 60W Portable Solar Panel?

When storing the solar panel, please fold the solar panels and then put them in the bag with the lead-out wire of the junction box facing upward.

What should I check if my 60W Portable Solar Panel cannot charge my portable power stations?

1. Ensure that the solar panel is installed outdoors. Panels installed indoor without sunlight exposure will not be able to charge portable power stations. 2. Check whether the connection cable has been properly connected according to the instructions, and re-plug it to confirm. 3. Check whether the solar panel input voltage and current match the specifications of the solar input parameters of the portable power stations, and check whether the positive and negative terminal connections are reversed. 4. Check whether any alarm message is shown on the display of the portable power stations, and troubleshoot it as instructed. 5. If the solar panel still does not work properly after the above steps, use the XT60i port to connect the portable power station to the car charger port to confirm whether the charging cable is working properly. 6. Contact after-sales service for help and send a video of the steps you have carried out.

Why is there low output power generated by the solar panel?

The output power of the solar panel is affected by the intensity and the angle of sunlight. To increase the output power, use the solar panel at the time of day when the sunlight is strongest (around noon) and keep the solar panel vertical to the sunlight. Avoid using solar panels for charging on cloudy or rainy days, or somewhere in the shade.

What is the output power of the 60W Portable Solar Panel?

This depends on weather conditions. Generally speaking, on a clear day with no clouds in the sky, sunlight hitting the 60W Solar Panel at a 90° angle usually generates 48W–54W of power as the normal power range (this is tested under the light of 800–900W/m² with a panel temperature of 50°C; and the nominal power rating is tested based on the light of 1,000W/m² in AM1.5 weather conditions with a panel temperature of 25°C. Power output data that is close to nominal values are normally observed at midday in winter). When the solar panel input current is relatively low, it is not recommended to use the solar panel for charging. This is because when the standby power is higher than the input power, the energy storage battery has voltage fluctuations that can damage the battery.

What are precautions for using the 60W Portable Solar Panel?

1. The operating temperature range of the solar panel is –20°C to 85°C (–4°F to 185°F). Be careful when using the solar panel. Do not drop, puncture, or bend it. 2. Do not use solar panels on cloudy or rainy days. It is not recommended to use solar panels to charge portable power stations when there is not enough sunlight as the input power would be relatively low in this case.
