Installation Guide
Before Installation:
✅️ Surface Prep: Ensure the mounting area is clean, flat, and free of sharp objects.
✅️ Avoid Shading: Install in a location with maximum sunlight exposure (no trees, shadows, or obstructions).
✅️ Weather Caution: Avoid installation under direct sunlight to prevent hot spots.
✅️ Adhesive/Screw Options: 3M Adhesive: Peel and stick, then wait 24 hours for full adhesion. Screw Mounting: Use waterproof screws (not included) on pre-drilled edge holes.
Installation Steps:
✅️ Positioning: Choose a sun-exposed area (roof, RV, etc.) and optimize tilt angle (15°–30° recommended ).
✅️ Mounting:
For adhesive: Press firmly and let cure for 24 hours.
For screws: Secure edges with rust-proof screws.
✅️ Wiring:
Connect the controller/battery (see the wiring diagram below, pay attention to match polarity: + to +, – to -). 
To harvest solar energy most efficientlytry to ensure that the sun’s rays hit the panel at a 90 angle and that the panel is not shaded.

Usage & Maintenance
We recommend that you carry out the following maintenance to ensure optimal performance of the module:
1.Clean Regularly: 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 ≤200 W/m²(18.6 W/ft² ));
2.Avoid Damage: Do not step on, bend forcefully, or place heavy objects on the panel.
3.Winter Care: Clear snow promptly to maintain efficiency.
4.inspect electrical and mechanical connections every six months to confirm that they are clean,secure and undamaged.
5.Prevent leaves and other objects from covering the surface of the solar panel. Partially shading thesolar panel will not only affect the efficiency of power generation, but may also cause excessive current at some places and burn out the components.
6.Storage: Keep in a dry, dark place if unused for long periods. 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
Safety Warnings
DO NOT：
Fold, puncture, or bend excessively.
Connect directly to devices—always use a charge controller/inverter.
Disassemble or repair yourself—contact professionals.
Use during thunderstorms (disconnect for safety).
Please Do NOT install the solar panel near flammable materials!!!
Performance varies by environment. Proper installation and maintenance ensure longevity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Why does the 200W Flexible Solar Panel fail to deliver as much as stated when in actual use?
A：In most cases, it is normal for a solar panel not to 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.
1.Light intensity: The amount of sunlight reaching the module causes power output fluctuations. Using the product under bright, midday sunlight is more likely to produce a power output closer to the nominal value under test conditions than using it in the morning or late afternoon. Weather conditions also affect the amount of sunlight reaching the module. For example, in hazy, cloudy, or rainy weather conditions, achieving the nominal power value is much less likely.
2.Surface Temperature: 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.
3.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 performance. 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%-10%.
4.Panel Shading: 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: lf 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 200W Flexible 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 140W-165W of power in the 200W 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 200W Flexible Solar Panel?
A：The operating temperature range of the solar panel is -40°C to 85°c (-40°F to 185°F). Please read the instructions carefully before using the solar panel and minimize large bends during use to avoid damage to the battery core. The panels are made of a special composite material, which is lightweight and able to bend to a certain degree.allowing them to be used flexibly on different surfaces of the roof.
However, the solar panels are made of 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 bend the panels too far in order to prevent the monocrystalline wafers from breaking and affecting use. Damage caused by human force is not covered under the free warranty.
Q4: Does the bend of the 200W Flexible Solar Panel have a large impact on power?
A：The solar panel can be bent on certain surfaces, but the more the panel bends, the less efficient it is. This is because panel power generation is best only when the entire panel has a consistent light source. When bent, different areas of the flexible solar panel are exposed to different amounts of light, reducing power generation efficiency.
Q5: Can l use 200W Flexible Solar Panel together in series?
A：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 panels with different currents to be used in series without releasing their power and creating a 1+1<2 effect.
Q6: Can l connect 200W Flexible Solar Panel in parallel?
A：Yes. Connecting panels in parallel increases power through doubling the current. The maximum number of 200 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.
Q7: Do l need to clean the 200W Flexible 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 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 surface of the panel and affecting the output.
