The EcoFlow 220W Bifacial Solar Panel is a portable and versatile solar charging solution designed to generate electricity from both its front and rear sides. This bifacial design enhances power output by utilizing ambient light, making it more efficient in various lighting conditions.
The primary function of the EcoFlow 220W Bifacial Solar Panel is to convert sunlight into electrical energy, which can then be used to charge compatible power stations or other devices. Its bifacial nature allows it to capture direct sunlight from the front and ambient light from the rear, boosting overall power generation. The panel is designed for portability, featuring a foldable structure and a protective case that doubles as a kickstand, making it easy to transport and set up in different environments. It comes with an MC4 output controller and a solar charging cable for connecting to power storage units. The panel's efficiency is influenced by factors such as light intensity, surface temperature, and the angle at which it faces the sun. It is particularly effective in clear, sunny conditions but can still generate power in less ideal weather, albeit at reduced efficiency. The panel is intended for use with EcoFlow power stations but can also be connected to other brands that are MC4 compatible, provided they meet the necessary current and voltage requirements.
The EcoFlow 220W Bifacial Solar Panel is designed for straightforward use. To begin, unfold the panel and position it so that its front side is facing the sun. The rear side of the panel will then capture ambient light, contributing to increased power output. For optimal performance, it is recommended to ensure the sun's rays hit the panel at an angle of approximately 90 degrees (±10 degrees) and that the panel is not shaded by any objects. The included protective case can be transformed into a kickstand, allowing users to adjust the panel's angle between 30 and 80 degrees to maximize solar energy harvesting. For charging during midday sun, when the sun is directly overhead, it is suggested to lay the solar panel flat on the ground. The panel connects to a power station via the provided MC4 output controller and solar charging cable. It is crucial to use the correct cable for connection between solar panels and energy storage, and it should not be used for interconnecting solar panels or other purposes. When connecting multiple panels, it is generally recommended to use panels of the same size and type to avoid limiting current and maximizing performance. While connecting panels in series or parallel is possible, specific recommendations are provided to ensure efficient power transfer to compatible power stations. For instance, connecting 220W panels in parallel is not recommended for DELTA and RIVER series power stations due to current limitations.
Maintaining the EcoFlow 220W Bifacial Solar Panel involves several key practices to ensure its longevity and optimal performance. The main body of the product is waterproof, but the junction box and connection points should not be submerged in water for extended periods. To prevent damage, the panel should not come into contact with highly corrosive substances or be immersed in corrosive liquids. Users should avoid using sharp objects on the panel's surface, and the product should not be knocked or impacted. Applying pressure to the panel, dropping it on its corners, sides, or faces, or bending it can result in damage to the solar panel, which contains glass. During transport, rotation, or installation, it is recommended to keep the panel in a vertical position. When storing the panel, always ensure that the positive and negative terminals of the junction box are not exposed to sunlight. The panel should be folded into its original shape and stored in its Protective Case (Kickstand) when not in use, as this provides sufficient protection. If the panel is not generating power or its output is significantly below expected figures after addressing common issues like shading or angle, it may indicate a malfunction, and customer support should be contacted. Unwanted solar panels must be disposed of in accordance with local legal requirements. The free warranty period does not cover damage resulting from improper use of the product.
