This document provides essential instructions for the VEVOR S100 and S400 solar panels. These panels are designed for outdoor power generation. Users must ensure the installation location is unobstructed and well-lit. Always verify that the positive and negative poles are connected correctly to prevent short circuits. Note that parallel connection cables are not included and must be purchased separately.
Safety Warnings
- Do not disassemble or refit the product, as it may cause electric shock or damage.
- Do not place metal objects between the solar panel and a smartphone, as this may cause a fire.
- Disconnect the adapter cable and the device being charged before cleaning the panel.
- Installation operations are strictly prohibited during thunderstorms.
- Keep the product away from children.
- Ensure the solar panel and the device being charged can be immediately disconnected in case of an accident.
Operation Scenario
To use the solar panel, place it in direct sunlight. Use the appropriate wire to connect the panel to the device you need to charge. Ensure the connection is secure and the insulation is intact.
Parallel Connection
The panels can be used in series or parallel. For parallel connections, users must purchase the necessary parallel lines separately. Ensure the positive and negative terminals are matched correctly according to the connection diagrams provided in the manual.
