9. Maintenance
We recommend that you carry out the following maintenance to ensure optimal performance of the module:
1. Clean the flexible surface of the module with water and a soft sponge or cloth when necessary. Stubborn dirt can
be removed with mild detergent. Avoid using sharp and/or hard cleaning tools. It is recommended that you only
clean in the morning and evening when the sun is weak (irradiance

2. Inspect electrical and mechanical connections every six months to confirm that they are clean, secure and
undamaged.
3. Prevent leaves and other objects from covering the surface of the solar panel. Partially shading the solar panel
burn out the components.
In case of any issues, always have a qualified expert investigate and follow the maintenance instructions for all
components used in the system, such as brackets, charge regulators, inverters, batteries, etc.
The panels are made of a special composite material, which is lightweight and able to bend to a certain degree,
monocrystalline silicon wafers, and despite their flexibility, they should not be slammed on the ground during
installation and use or stepped on or struck with foreign objects. Do not sit on the surface of the panels and do not

Does the bend of the 100 W Panel have a large impact on power?
Can I use 100 W Solar Panels together in series?
Yes. Please read the description of in series and parallel connections 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
Can I connect 100 W Solar Panels in parallel?
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.
Do I need to clean the 100 W Solar Panel regularly?
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 block 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.
However, when cleaning, be careful to wipe the surface with soft materials to prevent hard materials scratching the
