Practical help

Common problems

Low power output

Ensure the panel is fully unfolded and positioned directly towards the sun. Check for shadows or debris on the surface.

Device not charging

Verify that the cable is securely connected to the correct output port (DC 5521, USB-A, or Type-C) and that the device is compatible with the output voltage.

Before use

  • Inspect the solar panel for any physical damage or cracks.
  • Ensure the panel is fully unfolded on a stable surface or hung securely.
  • Verify that the charging cable is properly connected to the solar charger box.
  • Check that the output port matches the requirements of your device or power station.

Specs in practice

Voc (Open Circuit Voltage)
The maximum voltage the panel can output when not connected to a load. Important for ensuring compatibility with power station input limits.
Isc (Short Circuit Current)
The maximum current the panel can produce. Used for sizing cables and fuses.
