Description

This 160W folding solar panel is half the weight of other folding models, so when every gram matters, choose Powerfilm. Powerfilm Solar has long been known for their industry leading portable thinfilm solar modules, but also manufactures state-of-the-art crystalline foldables in the 110W, 135W, 160W, and 190W sizes.

How To Use

1. Unfold the panel with the solar side facing up and pointing towards the sun.
2. Use the grommets on each corner and a tie cord to secure the panel in place, reducing the risk of loss or damage from high winds.
3. Connect the appropriate charge controller and cable for the type of device you will be charging.

Foldable Solar Panels are designed for regular outdoor use, but not permanent outdoor installations. While light rain will not damage the panels if they are brought inside and dried before storing, the panels are not weatherproof and should not be deployed in poor conditions. The fabric may discolor and fray with permanent outdoor exposure, and the individual solar modules may also be compromised.

Always store the Foldable Solar Panel in a cool, dry environment. If the panel is wet, allow it to thoroughly dry before folding and storing it to avoid damage (temperature range: -30 to 60 °C).

Operating Voltage and Current are typical values when tested under load at AM 1.5 lighting conditions. Power performance may vary due to temperature, light spectrum, angle to the sun, and other effects (minimum 95% rated when new).
