ECOFLOW Solar Panel User Manual
What’s in the Box
Connection method
How to set up your solar panel
-
Open and unfold the Eco Flow Solar Panel.
-
Adjust the solar panel on the Kickstand Case.
-
Attach the solar panel onto the Kickstand Case using the snap hooks
-
Connect the solar panel MC4 Connector to the MC4 to XT60 Cable (Solar Charging Cable, sold
separately) and connect the MC4 to XT60 Cable to the XT60 port on the EcoFlow power station.
-
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
- Connect the positive poles of the solar panels with the positive poles of the Solar MC4 Parallel Connection Cable. Connect the negative poles of the solar panels with the negative poles of the Solar MC4 Parallel Connection Cable;
- Connect the parallel cable connectors (output side) with the MC4 connectors on the MC4 to XT60 Cable (sold separately);
- Connect the XT60 connector on the MC4 to XT60 Cable to the XT60 port on the EcoFlow portable power station.
Refer to the user manuals of specific EcoFlow power stations to discover more information about connecting solar panels.
Wire solar panels in series
(refer to the figure below)
- Connect the male connector of one solar panel to the female connector of the other solar panel;
- Connect the solar panel MC4 Connectors to the MC4 to XT60 Cable (sold separately);
- Connect the XT60 connector on the MC4 to XT60 Cable to the XT60 port on the portable power station. Refer to the user manuals of specific EcoFlow power stations to discover more information about connecting solar panels.

FAQ
Are EcoFlow solar panels waterproof?
EcoFlow Solar Panels are IP67 rated, which means they can be submerged in a
body of water up to a meter deep for 30 mins. They are also are dustproof,
durable, and suitable for outdoor usage. If you wish to clean your
solar panel, use a gentle stream of water and do not use high-pressure water
sources such as a jet spray, as high pressure may 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, behind other objects, or
behind a window.
Warning: 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).
Warning: 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.
