The BougeRV 130W Portable Solar Panel is designed for solar power stations and off-grid systems. Before use, ensure the panel is dry and weather conditions are suitable. For off-grid setups, always connect the battery to the charge controller before connecting the solar panel. If you experience low output, check for shadows, adjust the angle of illumination, and clean the panel surface of any obstructions like dust or bird droppings.
Features
- Waterproof Performance: IP67 rating with a waterproof junction box.
- Design: Lighter structure (under 11 lbs) with robust aluminum kickstands.
- Efficiency: 9BB cell technology reduces internal resistance and increases conversion efficiency to 23.5%.
- Compatibility: Suitable for solar power stations, RVs, homes, and boats.
Safety Precautions
- Do not stand on, drop, or scratch the solar panels.
- Do not place objects on the panel surface to avoid residue or damage.
- Do not install or handle the panel during wet conditions or high winds.
How to Use
Solar Power Station System
- Release the buckle: Pull the iron up to open, turn counterclockwise to release the button, and turn clockwise to tighten the button.
- Adjust the bracket: Set up the kickstands to the desired angle.
- Connect: Use the MC4 connectors on the solar panel to connect to the DC7909 cable. The panel is compatible with various power stations as long as the cable has MC4 connectors.
Solar Off-grid System
For off-grid systems, follow this connection order:
- Connect the battery terminal wires to the charge controller.
- Connect the solar panel to the charge controller using the solar extension cable.
Series and Parallel Connections
- Series Connection: Wire panels in series to increase the total voltage output.
- Parallel Connection: Wire panels in parallel using a solar parallel connector to increase the total current output.
