Product Information
Full details
The EcoFlow 220W Portable Solar Panel is an ideal solution for outdoor enthusiasts and off-grid power users who need a high-efficiency energy source for their portable power stations. Its standout feature is the bifacial design that captures sunlight from both sides, significantly increasing total energy output compared to standard panels. While it offers excellent power generation and portability, users should note that capturing the full 220W efficiency requires precise positioning and optimal, unobstructed sunlight conditions.

FAQs
Can I leave this panel out in the rain?
Yes, it has an IP68 waterproof rating, but it is recommended to store it in a dry place during extreme storms to prolong its lifespan.
What is the benefit of a bifacial panel?
Bifacial panels capture sunlight on both the front and back sides, allowing for more energy production, especially when placed on reflective ground.
Does this panel come with a charge controller?
No, this is a solar panel only. It is intended to be used with a portable power station that contains a built-in MPPT charge controller.
Can I daisy-chain these panels?
Yes, you can connect multiple panels in parallel or series, provided you do not exceed the input voltage/current specifications of your power station.
How should I clean the solar cells?
Use a soft cloth and water to wipe down the glass. Do not use harsh chemicals or brushes that could scratch the surface.
Troubleshooting
Panel is not charging the power station
Verify that the XT60 connection is fully seated and that the power station is set to the correct input mode.
Output wattage is lower than 220W
Ensure the panel is angled directly toward the sun and check for any shadows cast by nearby objects or debris on the surface.
Connector feels loose
Check the XT60 port for debris or dust that may be preventing a secure click; clean with compressed air if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your panel, unfold it on a flat surface and use the included carrying case as an adjustable kickstand to tilt the panel toward the sun. Ensure the XT60 connector is firmly seated into your power station's input port. Regarding compatibility, the XT60 connector is designed specifically for EcoFlow power systems, though it may work with other third-party charge controllers using the same interface. For maintenance, keep the glass surfaces clean by wiping them with a soft, damp cloth to prevent dust or dirt accumulation. Avoid using abrasive cleaning agents. When not in use, fold the panel completely and store it in its protective case in a cool, dry location.
