220-Watt E.Flex Portable Monocrystalline Solar Panel, Foldable Solar Charger for Power Station/Generator, Waterproof - 91009182712

Highlights

• Efficiency meets durability PERC monocrystalline solar cells deliver a 22% efficiency rating, generating more power in a smaller frame than polycrystalline panels, the ETFE film coating further boosts the power output with up to 95% light transparency and reduces the risks of microcraks and deterioration, giving E.FLEX 220-Watt solar panels a lifespan of over 10-years compared with PET-coated solar panels
• Adjustable support legs capture more Sunlight with adjustable support legs that provide a wide range of tilt angles, adjustable tilt means you get up to 30% more power generation than panels lying flat on the ground, with E.Flex you can charge deep-cycle batteries and portable power stations with confidence
• Made for the outdoors robust corner guards and ETFE film protect E.FLEX 220-Watt portable solar panels (IP67-rated) against splashes, dirt and scratching that can impact power generation, easy-to-grip handles and a pack-and-go storage case mean you're ready whenever adventure calls
• Compatible with generators and batteries plug-and-play solar connectors make E.FLEX 220-Watt portable solar panels the perfect addition to portable solar generators PHOENIX 500 and PHOENIX 1000, it can also be connected to solar charge controllers to charge deep-cycle batteries, the solar connectors and charge controllers are sold separately
• Package includes: 1x Renogy 220-Watt E.FLEX portable solar panel, 1x waterproof storage case, 1x user manual and 1x warranty card
• Q1: what kinds of devices can be charged with this panel A1: e, flex 220 portable solar panels can charge batteries (solar charge controllers are required) and portable power stations, just ensure the open circuit voltage of the solar panel does not exceed the maximum DC input voltage of any connected power stations or solar charge controllers
• Q2: can I use non-Renogy branded power stations with E.flex 220-Watt portable solar panels A2: yes, you can use E.flex 220-Watt solar panels with portable solar generators from other manufacturers but you'll need additional solar connectors, always check the specs of your portable power stations to ensure compatibility with other charging devices
• Q3: why is my portable solar panel underproducing A3: the output performance of solar panels is dependent on multiple factors, these include Sunlight intensity, temperature and weather conditions, indirect Sunlight, rising temperatures, cloudiness and dust and dirt build-up can reduce the output of your solar panel
• Q4: how should I connect multiple solar panels for my system, should I use a series or parallel configuration
• A4: e, flex 220 portable solar panel can be connected in series or parallel configuration or array, how you choose to connect multiple solar panels depends both on the size of your off-grid solar system and your power needs.Connecting solar panels in a series increases the voltage of the system, leaving the system current output the same as a single panel, the total amount of voltage of a series connected array can be measured by multiplying the voltage output of a single panel by the number of panels or if you have panels of different voltages you add the voltage of each panel to get the total voltage of the array
• A4: connecting solar panels in parallel increases the current of the array and maintains the voltage output of a single panel, the total current of a solar array connected in parallel can be measured by multiplying the current of a single panel by the number of panels, make sure the open circuit voltage of the connected panels does not exceed the maximum DC input voltage of the power station or controller
• Q5: how many solar panels do I need A5: the best way to estimate how many solar panels you need is to understand and define the power load of a battery system, power is measured in watts and capacity in watt-hours (multiplying power output in watts by the required runtime of power loads, then, multiplied by a safety factor of 1.5-2) so, we advise you to size your battery bank first based on the minimum required capacity and decide how many panels or how much power input is needed accordingly
