FAQ’s
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.
- Light The amount of light shining on the panel will result in fluctuations to the power output. You are more likely to achieve nominal power output figures closer to those obtained under test conditions when using the product on a clear day during the midday sun, than when using the product in the morning or later in the afternoon. Weather conditions will also affect the amount of sunlight that shines on the panel. For example, you are much less likely to achieve the figures for nominal power in hazy, cloudy or rainy conditions.
- Surface The temperature of the solar panel surface will also affect the amount of power generated. The lower the surface temperature of the panel, the more power will be produced. For example, solar panels generate more power when used during the winter than during the summer, and this is completely normal. Solar panels generally reach temperatures close to 60°C (140°F) during summer. This reduces nominal power by 10–15%, despite the higher levels of light shining on the panel.
- The Angle of the Sunlight. Under good lighting conditions, the solar panel is able to stay where light hits perpendicular to the surface to achieve better light However, most solar panels installed on the roof of an RV can only be installed in a tiled configuration, which prevents the panel(s) from being installed at the optimal angle, and this difference will result in a power output loss of approximately 5%-15%.
- Panel The surface of the solar panel should not be shaded during use. Shading caused by shadows, foreign objects and glass can all greatly reduce power output.
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.

...When will I receive my order?
In most cases, a product on our website will give you an indication of the current stock availability, but shipping is not uniform for all products. We maintain fantastic relationships with all of our suppliers and we aim to get products to customers within 3 business days of the order being taken. This availability is based on information from our suppliers and from sales and supply patterns. The availability information given is a guide only and not a guarantee as there are external factors that we may not have control over.
Coronavirus Update – UK couriers and transport companies will not currently guarantee delivery times and we are seeing a slight delay in deliveries – please bear this in mind when ordering.
Specialist Couriers – Some items such as the larger portable power stations are sent by specialist courier as standard couriers will not accept them. These specialist couriers are very reliable but sometimes don’t have tracking or timed delivery.
Split deliveries – We sometimes need to send orders for more than one item by different courier networks (portable power stations for example) – so you may receive items at different times.
1500rpm machines or larger diesel gensets however are typically priced on application and all depend on the destination. We will be happy to quote on any large diesel generator and discuss your needs over the phone or via email.
Most orders placed before 12pm on a business day will be shipped from our suppliers on the same day provided the product is in stock. If you need to be certain an item is in stock and available, or if you need a lead time, it’s worth calling our sales team on 01329 722390. Pricing for extended shipping areas like Northern Ireland, the Scottish Highlands and outlying Islands, Outer Hebrides, Channel Islands, Isle of Man, Scilly Isles, and other postcodes not considered as UK mainland can be obtained also by calling our offices.
Please note that the processing of a payment and acknowledgement email does not constitute a legally binding contact. In the case of mispricing, changes in stock quantity, or if we believe the machine will be misused, we reserve the right to cancel the order and provide a full refund.
Heavy Items
You will be contacted by phone after ordering a larger item to confirm a delivery date before your order is dispatched. Large or heavy items are dispatched through a pallet network, so if we can’t get in contact with you, we may be unable to send out your item on a next day delivery. Please be sure to include a working phone number with your order.
Heavy items will require the recipient to make arrangements to take delivery of the goods and may require the recipient to help the courier unload the item. For items that are delivered on a pallet the courier will leave the pallet as close to your door as possible.
1500rpm diesel generators will require forklift (or similar) offloading; if this is not available then we can arrange a Hiab offload at an additional price – please call us to discuss any delivery requirements.
