FAQ
What do I need to complete my off-grid solar power system?
A solar panel has to be connected to a charge controller to regulate current, and a battery to store the electrical power. You will need adapter kit cables to wire the solar panel(s) and charge controller, and tray cables connecting the charge controller to a deep-cycle battery.
Why is my solar panel underproducing?
Solar panel performance may be hindered for a number of reasons. Most commonly, environmental conditions such as indirect sunlight, temperature rise, cloudy skies, and dirt and stain buildup on the top glass will cause a reduced power output.
How should I connect solar panels in my electrical circuit (series vs parallel)?
It depends on your electrical circuit size and power demand. Connecting solar panels in series adds up their operating voltage output, while the system current output will be the same as that for one panel. Connecting solar panels in parallel means individual panels' operating current output adds up to the system output current, while the system output voltage will be the same as that of one solar panel. To achieve the optimum power output and system rating for your power system, you can use both parallel and series connections.
How many solar panels do I need?
The best way to gauge how many solar panels you need is to understand and define the power load needed from this system. Power is measured in Watts, and capacity is commonly measured in Watt-hours (multiplying power output in watts by the required number of hours of operation multiplied by a safety factor of 1.5-2). Therefore, it is wise to size your battery bank first based on the minimum required capacity and accordingly decide how many panels or how much power input is needed.
Can I walk on flexible solar panels?
We suggest not. Walking on solar panels will exert excessive pressure on a small area and may cause cracks and damage to the panel.
How to clean solar panels?
You can clean the panels with a non-abrasive sponge and water. We suggest regular maintenance to wipe away dust, sand, and other dirt. Built-up dirt and stains will reduce the power output of the panel.
