Frequently Asked Questions

Q 1: What causes the low output power or no output during the use of solar panels? How can I solve it?****

A 1: – 1. Light intensity: Latitude, altitude, and sun altitude angle will affect the light intensity; multiple measurement results show that high temperature does not equal strong light intensity.
– 2. Solar installation angle: In the same geographical location, due to the different installation inclination angles, the cumulative amount of sunlight absorbed and the cumulative difference in radiation amount causes the difference in power generation. It works best when the solar panel is roughly perpendicular to the light.
– 3. Solar panel surface temperature: When the solar panel surface temperature is 77 ℉ , the output power is ideal. When the temperature is higher than 77 degrees Fahrenheit, the output power will decrease.
– 4. Shadow occlusion: During the working process of the solar panel, due to the partial occlusion of the shadow and the different degrees of dust settlement, the pollution of bird droppings will cause the “hot spot effect”, and the shaded part of the solar panel will not provide power contribution and will not be used in the solar panel. The interior
becomes an energy-consuming load, and at the same time causes the local temperature of the solar panel to increase. The overheated area can cause the EVA to accelerate aging and turn yellow, which reduces the light transmittance of the area, further deteriorates the hot spot, and leads to aggravated failure of the solar panel. Therefore, when using it, you should avoid blocking things and clean the surface of the solar panel regularly.
– 5. Load factors: When charging the energy storage, it will be limited by the maximum PV input current and voltage of the energy storage. Therefore, the input power value displayed on the energy storage display does not represent the maximum output of the solar panel. Please confirm the PV input related parameters of the energy storage
before use; Due to the own characteristics of PWM, there is a certain switching loss in the process of connecting with the solar panel, so the input power obtained by the battery will be lower than the maximum output of the solar panel.

Q 2 : Why the solar panel can’t provide 100% of the output energy ？****

A 2 : – 1. Limited by light intensity. Please refer to Q1 for more details.
– 2. Limited by the solar charge controller. The output conversion efficiency of the PWM controller is 75%, and the output conversion efficiency of the MPPT controller is above 90%.
– 3. Limited by the power station. The PV input voltage and PV input current of the power station will limit the output of the solar panel.
It’d be better to confirm the input parameters of the power station before building a solar panel system.

Q 3 : What should I do if the solar panel I received is damaged, missing parts, or has no output?****

A 3 :- Please send relevant pictures to our after-sales mailbox service@bougerv.com immediately, and leave your order number.
– We will reply one by one according to the chronological order sent by the customers.

Q 4 : What kind of device can be charged by this solar panel ？****

A 4 :- 1. Solar Power Station
– 2. Lead-acid Battery （need the solar charge controller ）
– 3. Lithium Battery （need the solar charge controller ）BougeRV sells different kinds of MPPT/PWM controllers, lithium iron phosphate battery and power stations to build your solar system.

Q 5 : How do I need to install this solar panel?****

A 5 : – Tear off the protection tape behind the solar panel, and then stick the solar panel to the ground.

Q 6 : How should I roll my rollable solar panel?****

A 6 :- Always roll the Rollable Solar Panel solar side out. Rolling solar side in will damage the panel and affect performance.

BougeRV Solar Panel comes with an 18-month warranty that commences from the date of purchase.
