Solar Panels

FAQ

• Q: What is a solar panel?

  Definition: A solar panel is the device which is used to absorb the sun's rays and convert them into electricity or heat.
  Description: A solar panel is actually a collection of solar (or photovoltaic) cells, which can be used to generate electricity when exposed to sunlight - a process known as the "photovoltaic effect". Please note that the solar panel needs to be used with a power station, and to use the solar panel, this should be put under sunlight. Note: solar panels can't store electricity, nor can the solar panel be charged by a wall charger or other charging devices.

• Q: What are the advantages of portable solar panels?

  1. A solar panel is small in size, allowing for easy maneuverability. They don't take up a lot of space - offering easy storage and organization.
  2. Unlike stationary solar panels, the portable panel can be carried around, conveniently as required. Solar panels can be used for a large variety of different functions or activities, and are suitable for emergency/home use, and also ideal for outdoor activities, such as camping.
  3. A solar panel is also extremely reliable, with solar energy accessible as long as we have the sun. It is also great for when you go outdoors, and require electricity to power appliances.

• Q: Do solar panels work at night?

  Solar panels cannot work at night. Please note that solar panels work by absorbing sunlight and converting it into electricity. Therefore, sunny conditions are required for solar panels to work.

• At what temperature do solar panels stop working?

  Operating temperature range: 14-149F (-10-65℃) Storage temperature range: 14-149F (-10-65℃), humidity not more than 60%. The Solar panel will not stop working due to high temperatures. After exceeding 65℃, the efficiency of the solar panel will decrease by 1%, for every increase of one degree Celsius.

• Q: How does a solar panel work?

  A: Solar panels work by converting the sun's rays into electricity. When placed under direct sunlight, the monocrystalline cells absorb the sunlight and produce electrical currents. DC electricity passes through the power station, and gets converted to alternating current to power appliances.

• Q: What is a solar panel used for?

  A: Solar panels, a collection of solar (or PV) cells, generate power, by a process known as "the photovoltaic effect". Teaming them with solar power stations will help you charge all your small and large home appliances during power outages or outdoor adventures.

• Q: How much does a solar panel cost?

  A: Jackery SolarSaga solar panels range from £219 to £629, depending on their size and power.

• Q: How much power does a solar panel produce?

  The power produced by solar panels can be easily calculated using the formula.
  Power = Watt * Hours * 0.85
  
  For instance, the Jackery SolarSaga 80W Solar Panel can generate up to 80W or less power, depending on heat and transition consumption. If they receive the sun's peak rays for 4 hours, you can calculate the power using the formula:
  
  Power = 80W * 4 * 0.85 = 272 Wh.
  
  Remember, it is a simple calculation. However, the actual power production will depend on the sunlight intensity and weather conditions.

• Q: How do you maintain and clean solar panels?

  A: Generally, Jackery SolarSaga Solar Panels are easy to use, letting you convert solar energy to electricity without any solar panel maintenance. However, you can also refer to the Solar Panel user manual if you have any more specific questions on maintenance and cleaning in mind.
