PowerFilm Solar 20W Foldable Solar Panel (F16-1200)

PowerFilm Solar panels are ideal for outdoor activities because they are exceptionally portable, lightweight, durable and efficient. Their flexibility offers a variety of possibilities in terms of how they can be set up, throw it on a tent, hang it from a tree, backpack or just roll it out on the ground. Most monocrystalline panels are too heavy to throw over shelter setups such as tents, or too cumbersome or inefficient in variable light conditions to be effectively mounted on a backpack when mobile. PowerFilm's quality is second to none!

Areas of use:

12V battery charging Small DC electric coolers Camp lighting HAM Radio and similar communication equipment

Advantages:

- Easy to use - Unfold the panel and start charging in seconds. - Durable - marine grade connectors, weather resistant fabric, military tested. - Low light operation - provides some power even in hazy or shaded environments. - Lightweight - No frames, special stands or mounting brackets needed. - Portable - Folds up into a small package that fits in most backpacks.

What's included:

20W foldable solar panel (F16-1200) 12V car charger adapter female (RA-2) Remark: Foldable solar panels are designed for regular outdoor use but not permanent outdoor installations. Although light rain will not damage the panels if they are brought inside and dried before storage, the panels are not weatherproof and should not be used in poor conditions. The fabric can become discolored and frayed with permanent outdoor exposure, and the individual solar modules can also be compromised. Always store the collapsible solar panel in a cool, dry environment. If the panel is wet, allow it to dry thoroughly before folding and storing to avoid damage (temperature range -30 to 60°C). All connections must be solar positive (red) to battery positive and solar negative (black or blue) to battery negative. Backing up can damage the solar panel. Contact your battery manufacturer if you have any questions about the specifications of your battery. A charge controller is not required if the battery capacity is 100 times greater (or more) than the panel output. For example, a 100Ah battery would not need a charge controller if the panel output is 1A or less. If a charge controller is required, please size it to the panel output. Operating voltage and current are typical values ​​when tested under load at AM 1.5 light conditions. Effect performance may vary depending on temperature, light spectrum, angle to the sun and other effects (at least 95% rated as new).

User instructions:

Unfold the panel with the sunny side up and towards the sun. Use grommets in each corner and a tie string to hold the panel in place and reduce loss or damage from high winds. Connect the appropriate accessory and cable for the type of device you will be charging. Electronics: Connect the 12V female car charger adapter (RA-2) (included) to the panel. Use your own USB car charger adapter to connect your device to the RA-2, or use a 2.4A Dual USB 12V adapter (RA-14B) (not included) to charge USB electronics. 12V batteries: Connect the panel output to the input of the appropriate charge controller, if required (4.5A, 6A and 10A charge controllers available) (not included) (see Important Notes section for details). Connect the desired cable to the output of the charge controller or panel. Use the 15-foot extension cord with O-ring connectors (RA-11) or the 15-foot extension cord with alligator clips (RA-8) (not included) when connecting directly to the battery. Use 12V Male Car Charger Adapter (RA-1) (not included) when connecting through a vehicle's cigarette lighter or accessory socket. If you are using an RA-8 or RA-11, connect the red connector to the + battery terminal and the blue or black connector to the - battery terminal. If using the RA-1, plug it into your vehicle's cigarette lighter or accessory socket. Note: in some vehicles, these sockets are not connected to the battery when the ignition is off, so the solar panel does not charge the battery. See your vehicle's owner's manual for more information.
