Setha

  1. Khipha Iphaneli: Carefully remove the solar panel and all accessories from its packaging.
  2. Unfold the Panel: Lay the folded solar panel on a flat surface and unfold it completely.
  3. Position the Kickstand: Extend the integrated kickstand(s) on the back of the panel to support it at an angle.
  4. Orient Towards the Sun: Adjust the panel's angle and direction to face the sun directly for maximum efficiency. Ensure no shadows are cast on the panel surface.
  5. Xhuma Amadivayisi: Open the zippered pouch on the back of the panel to access the output ports and cables. Select the appropriate cable and connector for your device or power station (e.g., DC to DC, DC to Anderson, USB-C, USB-A).
  6. Secure the Panel (Optional): Use the included fixed pegs to secure the panel to the ground, especially in windy conditions, by inserting them through the eyelets.

Imiyalelo yokusebenza

Ukushaja Amadivayisi

The GOLABS SF100 can charge various devices directly or through a compatible power station.

  • Direct Charging (USB Ports): For smartphones, tablets, and other USB-powered devices, connect them directly to the QC3.0 USB-A, standard USB-A, or PD 45W USB-C ports.
  • Charging Power Stations (DC/MC4): Use the DC output port or MC4 connectors with the provided cables (DC to DC, DC to Anderson) to charge compatible portable power stations. Ensure the voltage and connector type match your power station's input requirements.

Maximizing Charging Efficiency

  • Ukukhanya kwelanga okuqondile: Always place the solar panel in direct sunlight. Any shading, even partial, can significantly reduce output.
  • Optimal Angle: Adjust the kickstand to ensure the panel is perpendicular to the sun's rays. The sun's position changes throughout the day, so periodic adjustments may be necessary.
  • Hlanza Indawo: Keep the solar panel surface clean from dust, dirt, leaves, or other obstructions.
  • Gwema ukushisa ngokweqile: While designed for outdoor use, prolonged exposure to extreme heat can affect performance. Ensure adequate airflow around the panel.
