Solar Panels
How much capacity of photovoltaic panels do I need to meet my home's electricity needs?
Based on the user's monthly electricity consumption, local sunshine conditions, and overall budget considerations, a 1 kW solar panel can generate approximately 3 kWh-5 kWh of electricity per day.
Ecoflow's solar panels are suitable for which types of roofs?
Most roof types are suitable, including flat roofs, sloping roofs, steel roofs, and tile roofs.
What is the working temperature range of Ecoflow's solar panels?
The temperature range for normal operation of solar panels is -40°C to 85°C.
What are precautions for storing the 60W Portable Solar Panel?
When storing the solar panel, please fold the solar panels and then put them in the bag with the lead-out wire of the junction box facing upward.
Why is there low output power generated by the solar panel?
The output power of the solar panel is affected by the intensity and the angle of sunlight. To increase the output power, use the solar panel at the time of day when the sunlight is strongest (around noon) and keep the solar panel vertical to the sunlight. Avoid using solar panels for charging on cloudy or rainy days, or somewhere in the shade.
Do I need to clean the 175 W Solar Panel regularly?
Yes. There can be a lot of dust and foreign objects on the surface of the solar panel after the panel has been used outdoors for a long time, which block the light to a certain extent, reducing the power output. Regular cleaning can help keep the surface of the solar panel clean and free from obstructions and generate a higher power output.However, when cleaning, be careful to wipe the surface with soft materials to prevent hard materials scratching the surface of the panel and affecting the output.
What is the power range that a 175W solar panel can typically achieve?
On a sunny day without clouds and direct sunlight, the power range of a 175W solar panel is between 130–145W (this data is obtained under the conditions of irradiance of 800–900W/m2 and the panel surface at 60°C (140°F)). The nominal data of the solar panel is obtained by testing under the conditions of AM1.5, meteorological conditions of 1000W/m2, and panel surface temperature of 25°C (77°F). A power close to the nominal value can usually be reached at midday on a sunny day in winter.
What features and advantages does EcoFlow TOPcon solar panel have compared to other solar panels?
EcoFlow TOPcon solar panel has a next-level solar conversion efficiency rate of 25%, significantly higher than the 18%-20% conversion efficiency of many traditional solar panels. It maintains high power output even in low light and high-temperature environments, making it perform better in various weather conditions. It has an IP68 waterproof rating, ensuring greater durability and reliability, with a lifespan of up to 30 years.
Can I use solar panels of different specifications for mixed use?
Yes, but it is not recommended. Different energy storage controllers have requirements and restrictions on the output of solar panels. When solar panels with different current values are used in series, they will be limited, resulting in the inability to release the output power and even the short-board effect of 1+1<2
