How to set up your solar panel
In order to increase the efficiency of the EcoFlow Solar Panel, use it in
direct sunlight, position it perpendicular to the sunlight, and make sure the
solar panels are unobstructed.
The carrying case also doubles up as a kickstand, which enables you to
position the solar power in a 60° to 90° angle.
Connecting the Solar Panels in Parallel or in Series
Wire solar panels in parallel (refer to the figure below)
- Connect the positive poles of the two solar panels with the MC4 parallel cable and repeat the step for the negative poles.
- Connect the parallel cable connectors (output side) with the MC4 connectors of the Solar Charging Cable (MC4 to XT60 cable) respectively.
- Connect the XT60 connector on the Solar Charging Cable(MC4 to XT60 cable) to the XT60 port on the portable power station to recharge the unit.
Wire solar panels in series (refer to the figure below)
- Snap the male connector of one solar panel into the female connector of the other respectively to wire the three solar panels in series.
- Wire the two connectors that are unwired in step 1 with the Solar Charging Cable (MC4 to XT60 cable) respectively.
- Connect the XT60 connector on the Solar Charging Cable (MC4 to XT60 cable) to the XT60 port on the portable power station to recharge the unit.
FAQ
Are EcoFlow solar panels waterproof?
EcoFlow Solar Panels are waterproof, which means you can use them in outdoor environments. They are also IP67 rated, dustproof, and protected from moisture. If you wish to clean your solar panel, use a gentle stream of water and avoid high-pressure water sources such as a jet spray, as these devices can damage the solar panels.
Does the charging speed of EcoFlow solar panels vary?
Solar panel charging speeds vary with different operating and environmental conditions:
Weather: Solar panels may have lower outputs in cold, cloudy, and rainy conditions;
Positioning: Solar panels may have lower outputs when they are not directly
facing the position of the sun;
Obstructions: Solar panels may have lower outputs when placed under
shade, b hind other objects, or behind a window.
Note: Avoid applying external pressure to the solar panels; doing so can
damage the solar panel cells and result in reduced outputs.
Can EcoFlow solar panels be used in extreme weather conditions?
Please use the solar panels in stable weather conditions. The optimal temperature range for normal use and storage of EcoFlow solar panels is -4°F to 185°F (-20°C to 85°C). Do not use solar panels during severe weather conditions, such as thunderstorms, strong winds, and hailstorms.
Can EcoFlow solar panels store power themselves?
Solar panels convert solar energy into electricity and pass it as a DC current to an EcoFlow power station, as opposed to storing power themselves.
