The following factors may cause a decrease in the power generation of the solar panel:
- It is related to solar radiation intensity, solar irradiance, sunlight duration, and the positioning of the solar panel.
- If the surface of the solar panel is dirty, power generation will decrease.
- If the solar panel has been dropped or impacted, it may be damaged, which can also reduce power output.
- The power station uses a CCCV charging method. When the battery approaches full capacity, the solar panel's power output will automatically adjust and decrease.
CCCV (Constant Current / Constant Voltage) charging starts with constant current (CC) until the battery reaches a specified voltage. Then, the system switches to constant voltage (CV) to complete the charge, preventing overcharging. The charging speed slows significantly during the final few percent. - There may be a malfunction in the solar panel itself.
To investigate the cause of the reduced power output, please confirm the following:
- On a clear sunny day, place the solar panel under direct sunlight between 12:00 PM and 2:00 PM. Check whether the output exceeds 60%.
- Ensure the panel is not shaded or blocked.
- Since the power output will decrease when the power station is nearly full, please test the panel when the battery level is below 50% and check whether it exceeds 60%.
- Has the solar panel ever been dropped or suffered an impact during use?
- Try using a different DC input port for testing.
- Check if there are any error codes or unusual symbols on the screen.
If the issue still cannot be resolved, please record a clear video showing the charging process and screen display, and send it to our support email hello.aus@jackery.com.
We will assist you as soon as we receive it.
