Product Information

Full details

The EcoFlow 100W Flexible Solar Panel is ideal for users seeking a lightweight, adaptable solar charging solution for off-grid adventures, RVs, and mobile setups. Its primary benefit is its portability and ability to conform to various surfaces, making installation easier in unconventional spaces. A potential caveat is that while flexible, it's designed for flat or gently curved surfaces, not extreme contortions, and optimal performance requires direct sunlight. This panel features high-efficiency monocrystalline cells, a durable, waterproof design, and bypass diodes for improved shade tolerance.

FAQs

What is the maximum degree the panel can flex?

The EcoFlow 100W Flexible Solar Panel can flex up to 258 degrees.

Is this panel suitable for permanent outdoor installation?

While durable and waterproof (IP68), it is designed for portable and mobile setups. For permanent installations, rigid panels might offer greater long-term durability against environmental wear. Ensure secure mounting if used outdoors.

How do I connect multiple panels?

Multiple panels can be connected in parallel to increase solar input. Ensure your power station or charge controller can handle the combined voltage and current. Refer to your power station's manual for specific limitations.

Can I walk on this solar panel?

It is not recommended to walk on the panel, as excessive pressure or impact could cause damage to the cells or surface.

What is the efficiency of the solar cells?

The panel uses high-efficiency monocrystalline cells with a 23% conversion efficiency.

Does it come with cables?

Yes, the panel includes a cable with a standard solar connector for compatibility with most devices.

What maintenance is required?

Regular cleaning with a damp cloth is recommended to maintain optimal performance. Inspect for any damage periodically.

Troubleshooting

Panel not producing power

Ensure the panel is in direct sunlight, connections are secure, and the power station/charge controller is functioning correctly. Check the power station's input settings.

Slow charging speed

Verify the panel is angled directly towards the sun. Clean the panel surface. Ensure there are no obstructions or significant shading. Check if multiple panels are needed for the desired charging speed.

Panel appears warped or damaged

Inspect for physical damage. If flexibility has been exceeded or there are tears, discontinue use and contact customer support. Avoid bending the panel beyond its 258-degree limit.

Connection issues

Ensure the standard solar connector is fully seated and locked. Check the cable for any damage. Try a different compatible cable if available.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely lightweight and portable.
  • Flexible design allows mounting on curved surfaces.
  • High solar conversion efficiency.
  • Durable and waterproof for outdoor use.
  • Easy to install with various mounting options.
  • Compatible with most power stations.

Cons

  • Flexibility has limits; not suitable for sharp folds.
  • Requires direct sunlight for optimal performance.
  • Surface durability may be less than rigid glass panels in extreme abrasive conditions.
  • Potential for damage if stepped on or subjected to heavy impact.
  • Output can be reduced by partial shading.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify a location that receives maximum direct sunlight throughout the day.
  2. Clean the mounting surface thoroughly.
  3. Use the pre-cut eyelets for mounting. Options include:
  • Adhesive Mounting: Apply a suitable outdoor-grade adhesive (not included) to the back of the panel or the mounting surface.
  • Hook/Tether Mounting: Secure the panel using hooks or tethers through the eyelets to anchor points.
  1. Connect the panel's output cable to your portable power station or charge controller using the standard connector.
  2. Ensure all connections are secure.

Compatibility:

  • The panel uses a standard solar connector, making it compatible with most portable power stations that accept solar input.
  • It can be integrated into existing 48V solar systems. Check your system's voltage and current specifications.
  • To increase power output, multiple panels can be connected in parallel (consult your power station's manual for maximum input wattage and voltage).

Care:

  • Clean the panel surface regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Inspect the panel for any signs of damage periodically.
  • While IP68 rated, avoid prolonged immersion in water or exposure to high-pressure water jets.
  • Store in a dry place when not in use for extended periods.
