ECOFLOW Portable Solar Panel for Power Station, Foldable Solar Charger

Product Usage Instructions

Solar Panel Setup

1. Ensure the solar panel is in direct sunlight and positioned perpendicular to the sunlight.
2. Keep the solar panels unobstructed for optimal efficiency.
3. Use the kickstand feature before 10:00 am or after 2:00 pm; during midday, lay the panel flat on the ground.

Speeding Up Solar Charging

• To wire solar panels in parallel:

1. Connect the positive poles of two solar panels using a parallel cable and repeat for the negative poles.
2. Connect the parallel cable connectors to the Solar Charging cable (Solar to XT60i Charging Cable).
3. Connect the XT60 connector on the Solar Charging Cable to the XT60 port on the portable power station for recharging.

• To wire solar panels in series:

1. Snap male connectors of one panel into female connectors of others to wire them in series.
2. Connect the unwired connectors to the Solar Charging Cable.
3. Connect the XT60 connector on the Solar Charging Cable to the XT60 port on the power station for recharging.

• For improved charging results, the Protective Case can also be used as a kickstand to prop up the solar panel at a 30°–80° angle.
• The kickstand feature should only be used before 10:00 am or after 2:00 pm. To use the product during the midday sun, simply place the solar panel flat on the ground.

Speed Up Solar Charging

Wire solar panels in parallel
(refer to the figure below)

1. Connect the positive poles of the two solar panels with the parallel cable and repeat the step for the negative poles.
2. Connect the parallel cable connectors (output side) with the connectors of the Solar Charging Cable (Solar to XT60i Charging Cable) respectively.
3. Connect the XT60 connector on the Solar Charging Cable (Solar to XT60i Charging Cable) to the XT60 port on the portable power station to recharge the unit.
   • *For more information and methods about solar charging, please refer to the user manual of the specific portable power station.

Wire solar panels in series
(refer to the figure below)

1. Snap the male connector of one solar panel into the female connector of the other respectively to wire the three solar panels in series.
2. Wire the two connectors that are unwired in step 1 with the Solar Charging Cable respectively.
3. Connect the XT60 connector on the Solar Charging Cable (Solar to XT60i cable) to the XT60 port on the portable power station to recharge the unit.
