User Manual for KickAss 120W/200W DC Solar Blanket

Quick Guide

The KickAss DC Solar Blanket is a portable, foldable solar solution designed for outdoor use. It features high-efficiency N-Type TOPCon cells and a durable ETFE coating. Before use, ensure the solar blanket is placed on a stable surface, free from shade, and angled directly toward the sun. Always use a compatible solar regulator between the panel and the battery to prevent damage.

Product Overview

The solar blanket includes an integrated junction box with multiple output ports and adjustable kickstands for optimal positioning. It is IP67 rated for water resistance.

4. Extend the stand and attach the Velcro end to the opposing section on the rear of the panel.
5. Position the blanket in an open, shade-free area.
6. Angle the panel so the solar cells face directly toward the sun.

Connections

The solar blanket must be connected to a compatible solar regulator or power station. Do not connect directly to a battery. Ensure all panels are the same model and specifications if connecting multiple units in series or parallel.

• Solar Charge Controller: Connect the Anderson tail to the input of your MPPT solar charge controller, then connect the controller to the battery.
• Power Stations: Connect the Anderson tail directly to compatible KickAss power stations or via a control hub with a DCDC charger.

The junction box provides convenient charging for portable devices. Remove the rubber cover to access:

• DC5521 Port: Up to 120W (KASB120) or 200W (KASB200).
• USB-C PD Port: Fast charging (45W for 120W model, 100W for 200W model).
• USB-A QC3.0 Ports: Up to 18W for small electronic devices.

Cleaning and Maintenance

• Turn off and disconnect the panel before cleaning.
• Allow the surface to cool completely.
• Use clean water and a soft cloth, sponge, or non-abrasive brush.
• For stubborn grime, use mild soapy water only.
• Do not use abrasive pads, harsh chemicals, or high-pressure washers.
• Dry with a soft cloth or air dry.
• Inspect connectors and cables for damage after cleaning.

Troubleshooting

If you experience issues, check the following:

• No power: Check for loose, corroded, or improperly attached connectors. Ensure cables are intact.
• Low output: Ensure the panel is well-exposed to sunlight and free from shading, dirt, or debris.
• USB-C charging slow: Confirm the charging cable is rated for high output (45W or 100W) and check the device's maximum input capability.
