AP-SP-029 Portable Solar Panel Charger

This is a foldable and portable solar panel which is made for charging the most portable solar generators on the market.The efficient Solar cells belongs to physical batteries which is recyclable,different from chemistry ones which have a limited cycle life because of the lamination of battery material itself. Even after 5 yea, the power of solar cells still can achieve more than 80% .

How it works

1 Place your solar panel to an area where you can get the most possible sunlight and adjust the angel to sun.

• All solar panels must be exposed to direct sunlight, avoid any possible shelters like buildings and trees .
• Solar panels angled at 30-60 degrees from a flat surface will harvest the solar energy that is most possible.
• If your panels must be adhere to other surface, you need to avoid the damp or irregular surface as they might bring a bit distortion after long time sunlight exposure.(we can rescue it after a second long time exposure. )
• Please choose the sunny hours in a day(9:00 am to 5:00 pm)and panels operate at peak efficiency when the sun is most direct-typically around mid-day(am 12:00-1:00 pm)

2.Build connection between the solar panel and your Laptops/solar generators.

Before the charging, please turn off your laptop/devices to decrease the screen’ s consumption thus it can shorten the charging time.

• Solar panels generate electricity when panels meet sunlight, so please protect them with clothes before you plug in a device.
• Plug in the cable to the input of your device first, then the other end of cable go towards the output of solar case.
• Remove the clothes and you will find a charging sign on your laptop, if not, please build the connection again or replace another charging cable.
• If there shows up a charging sign, you can settle your device to a cool place for better heat dissipation and turn off your device to save the loss of energy during its running hours especially for laptops.

3.How to chain multiple solar modules together
It is also designed for charging 12V/24V lead-acid batteries, including lithium and other equipment, pls do pair the charging with a solar regulator to protect the batteries system from overcharging.

• You can add more solar panels together with MC4 Y connectors to get different output: voltages are additive when Panels are connected directly in series, and the currents are additive when panels are connected directly in parallel.
• Only solar panel with similar electrical output should be connected in the same string to avoid mismatch effects.
• How to build the series or parallel connection
• Solar panels are connected in series (+ to -, – to +): the voltage is added, the power is added, and the current is unchanged.
• Parallel connection of solar panels (+ to +, – to -): the voltage does not change, the power is added, and the current increases.

When the panels are connected in series, the voltage will increase, and when the panels are connected in parallel, the current will increase. Therefore, if three solar panels are connected in series at the same time, the voltage may exceed the safe voltage of 50V. Please use them sparingly.
Series Connection

Parallel Connection

MC4 connectors

1. Keep connectors dry and clean, and ensure that connector caps are hand tight before connecting the panel.
2. Do not attempt making an electrical connection with wet, soiled, or otherwise faulty connectors.
3. To better preserve its service life, please avoid sunlight exposure and water immersion of the connectors, and avoid connectors resting on the ground or roof surface.
4. Faulty connections can result in electrical shock. Please check that all electrical connections at least once every 6 months. Make sure that all locking connectors are fully fastened and locked.

Warm Tips

1. If the solar panel is broken, please stop using it and contact professional maintenance personnel or the manufacturers after-sales service mailbox. A professional will fix it rather than fix it yourself.
2. The solar panel charger is built with a anti-flow resistant preventer inside, it will not occur the backflow phenomenon.
3. D 0 not step, stand or jump on the surface of the solar panel. Heavy or sharp objects may scratch the solar panel and cause small cracks, affecting the output power or scratching the human body.

Maintenance:

1. This foldable solar panel mainly for emergency charging purpose, we do not suggest a long time outdoor exposure as it may shorten the lifespan of this product.
2. Do not step, stand or jump on the surface of the solar panel. Heavy or sharp objects may scratch the solar panel and cause small cracks, affecting the output power or scratching the human body.
3. If your foldable solar panel must be adhere to other surface, you need to avoid the damp or irregular surface as they might bring a bit distortion after long time sunlight exposure.(we can rescue it after a second long time exposure. )
4. It is normal that solar panels got hotter during working hours and please store them with the box after they become cool down.
5. Dirt and dust can accumulate on the surface over time, this can cause a general decrease of power output, we recommends periodic cleaning for panel with a mild, non-abrasive cleaning agent.
6. It is not suggested to leave it charge any devices unguarded in vehicles especially in hot summer days as the temperature in front of the dashboard might goes up to 65-70°C.
7. Will rain damage the solar panel?

The waterproof coefficient of the solar panel is IP66, which is rainproof and can be immersed in water for a short time, but it is forbidden to immerse in water for a long time. Once it is short-circuited due to water immersion, please stop using it and contacting the seller.

Disposal Guide

If circumstances permit, ensure that the product is disposed of in a designated recycling bin. Please follow local laws for more details.
