EcoFlow 100W Rigid Solar Panel X2
When there is no power supply to connect to the EcoFlow 100W Rigid Solar Panel is the perfect solution to recharging your EcoFlow Power Kit Batteries or portable power station. The EcoFlow rigid solar panel is constructed with monocrystalline silicon cells which are highly efficient and reliable. The solar panel has been designed to work with the EcoFlow Power Kits, or the EcoFlow range of portable battery generators.
The EcoFlow 100W rigid solar panel is an efficient, solid solar panel and comes with pre-cut holes on the panel ready to mount on your van or off-grid build. Weighing in at just 6.2kg each the EcoFlow solar panel can attached to any surface with the aid of the rigid solar panel mounting feet. EcoFlow rigid solar panels can be connected in series or parallel to generate extra charging capacity. With the MC4 output this EcoFlow rigid solar panel can connect to any of the EcoFlow Power Kits or other EcoFlow portable power station and other portable battery generators.
Being of a waterproof construction (Waterproof IP Rating: IP68) the EcoFlow 100W rigid solar panel can withstand all weather conditions. The panel can withstand dirt, low-pressure water jets, extreme winds of up to 130 mph, and even heavy snowfalls.

Q1. Why does the EcoFlow 100W Rigid Solar Panel fail to deliver as much as stated when in actual use?
A. In most cases, it is normal for a solar panel to not deliver its full nominal power. Some of the reasons why this happens, as well as some suggestions for getting closer to the nominal power figure, are given below.
Performance Issues caused by Malfunctioning Panels: If the panel still isn’t generating power or its output remains far below expected nominal power figures after addressing the issues above, there may be an issue with the panel itself. Please contact Customer Support for assistance.
Q2. How much power can the EcoFlow 100W Rigid Solar Panel generate under normal conditions?
A. This depends first and foremost on weather conditions. Generally speaking, on a clear day with no clouds in the sky, sunlight hitting the panel at a 90° angle usually generates 70 W–80 W of power in the 100 W panel (current light conditions are normally 800–900 W/m2 (74.3–83.6 W/ft2) with a panel temperature of 50°C (32°F) under test conditions. Nominal power ratings are based on 1,000 W/m2 (92.9 W/ft2) in AM1.5 conditions with a panel temperature of 25°C under test conditions. Power output figures close to nominal values were normally observed in the midday sun during the winter).
Q3. What are the usage temperature range and precautions for use for the EcoFlow 100W Rigid Solar Panel?
The operating temperature of the solar panel is -20°C to 85°C (-4°F to 185°F). Please read the product’s manual carefully before use. Solar panels are made of monocrystalline silicon wafers. During installation and use, please do not slam the panels on the ground, step on them, strike them with foreign objects, or sit on their surface as such actions may cause the monocrystalline silicon wafers to crack, which will affect your use. Damage caused by human force is not covered by the free warranty.
Q4. Can I connect EcoFlow 100W Rigid Solar Panel in series?
A. Yes, but this is not recommended. Please read the instructions in the User Manual carefully, paying particular attention to energy storage controller requirements and limitations on solar panel output, so as not to cause solar panels with different currents to be used in series without releasing their power and creating a 1+1<2 effect.
Q5. Can I connect EcoFlow 100W Rigid Solar Panel in parallel?
A. Yes. Connecting panels in parallel increases power through doubling the current. The maximum number of 100 W panels allowed in a parallel connection depends on the controller and energy storage equipment of your recreational vehicle. Please ensure that the energy storage system used in your vehicle supports a higher input
current, and you should use wires with a diameter suitable to the output current to securely connect the panels in parallel.
Q6. Do I need to clean the EcoFlow 100W Rigid Solar Panel regularly?
A. 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 blocks 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.
