This manual provides instructions for the installation and operation of VEVOR flexible solar panels, available in 100W and 200W models. The panels are designed for home energy storage charging. Users must purchase a compatible charge controller and battery separately to complete the system.
Safety warnings
- Do not continue to use the product if it has been subjected to heavy impact or crunching, as this may cause electric shock.
- Do not disassemble or modify the product.
- Do not place metal objects between the solar panel and a smartphone, as this may cause a fire.
- Ensure the solar panel and the device being charged can be disconnected immediately in case of an accident.
- Disconnect the adapter cable and the device being charged before cleaning the solar panel.
- Keep the product out of reach of children.
- Installation operations are prohibited during thunderstorms.
- Ensure positive and negative poles are connected correctly to prevent short circuits.
- Confirm the installation location is unobstructed and well-lit.
- Check that the support structure is stable and the circuit insulation is reliable.
Operation scenario
The solar panel must be connected to a charge controller, which then connects to a 12V battery and the output load. Note that the controller and battery accessories are not included with the panel and must be purchased by the consumer.
Important: Ensure your battery voltage is higher than 10.8 volts before connecting it to the charge controller. The safe charging voltage of the battery must be below 13.86 volts.
