Frequently Asked Questions
Q1 What causes the low output power or no output during the use of solar panels? How can | solve it?****
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°F, 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.
Q2 Why the solar panel can’t provide 100% of the output energy?****
1. Limited by light intensity. Please refer to QI 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.
Q3 What should | do if the solar panel | received is damaged, missing parts, or has no output?****
– 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.
Q4 What kind of device can be charged by this solar panel?****
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.
Q5 How do | need to install this solar panel?****
– Tear off the protection tape behind the solar panel, and then stick the solar panel to the ground.
Q6 How should | roll my rollable solar panel?****
– 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.
