Frequently Asked Questions - SP100W VIVANCO

What is the maximum power output of the Vivanco SP100W solar panel?

The SP100W solar panel can deliver up to 100 watts under standard test conditions (STC: 1000W/m², 25°C, AM1.5).

Can I use this solar panel to charge a 12V battery?

Yes, the panel's nominal voltage of 18V is suitable for charging a 12V battery when used with an appropriate charge controller to prevent overcharging.

What type of charge controller do I need?

For a 100W panel, an MPPT charge controller is recommended for efficiency, but a PWM controller can also work. Ensure the controller matches the panel's voltage and current.

Is the SP100W panel waterproof?

Yes, it has an IP65 rating, meaning it is protected against low-pressure water jets from any direction, but it should not be submerged.

What are the dimensions and weight of the panel?

The panel measures approximately 100 x 67 x 3 cm (39 x 26.4 x 1.2 inches) and weighs about 10 kg (22 lbs).

How should I clean and maintain the solar panel?

Clean the surface with a soft sponge or cloth using mild soap and water. Do not use abrasive cleaners or high-pressure washers. Inspect connections periodically.

Can I connect multiple SP100W panels together?

Yes, you can connect them in series to increase voltage or in parallel to increase current. Use appropriate combiners and ensure total voltage does not exceed the charge controller's rating.

What is the operating temperature range?

The panel can operate in temperatures from -20°C to +60°C (-4°F to 140°F). Performance may decrease at very high temperatures.

Does the panel come with mounting hardware?

The SP100W typically includes pre-drilled holes for mounting but does not include brackets or stands. You may need to purchase mounting accessories separately.

What is the warranty period for this solar panel?

Vivanco offers a 10-year warranty covering at least 90% of rated power output. Check the product documentation for full terms.

3.1 Safety instructions

Danger of operating errors

The Solar Panel may only be used by persons who are sufficiently familiar with its operation and handling. Make sure that children and disabled persons also observe these instructions!

Fire hazard

• By opening:
• DO NOT open the solar panel and DO NOT use it in a damaged condition.
• By short-circuiting:
• DO NOT short circuit the contacts.
• By damage:
• DO NOT use the unit if it appears to be damaged. DO NOT bend, scratch or twist.
• Only place the solar panel on a level surface to avoid damage from tipping over or falling down.
  DO NOT use damaged cables / power supplies on the solar panel.
• Due to contact with moisture:
• If the solar panel gets wet, allow them to dry completely before further use. It is IP 44 splash-proof, but must not be exposed to direct moisture at the connections.

Danger: Injury

- By electric shock / fire

• The solar panel is NOT suitable for feeding into an existing power grid.
• DO NOT expose the solar panel to direct water.
  DO NOT touch or short-circuit the contacts.

- By opening

- The junction box may only be opened by trained personnel.

- By interfering with other equipment

• DO NOT use solar panel if other devices are disturbed by its operation.
• Must NOT be used to operate medical devices.

GB

- By looking directly into the sunlight for prolonged periods.

- DO NOT look directly into the sun. This can permanently damage your eyesight.

- Connected devices may start up unattended.

- Switch off connected devices before starting up the solar panel. Disconnect non-switchable devices from the solar panel before commissioning.

CAUTION: Material damage

- Due to operation in wet conditions

- DO NOT expose the solar panel to direct water.

- DO NOT continue to use defective solar panels and dispose of them.

- By using the wrong connection cable

- Only use the USB A, USB C, DC5521, XT30 or XT60 connection cables that match the connections.

Incorrect or insufficient cables can cause damage.

5. FAQ

Q1: Which devices can be connected to the solar panel?

A: This solar panel is for charging power stations and other mobile devices such as tablets, smartphones, power banks and others.

Check the technical data to see if your device will be supported.

Q2: Can the solar panel be operated or left standing in the rain?

A: No. This product is IP44 certified, whereas the actual panel without the connection unit even meets IP67 requirements.

However, due to the connection unit, permanent contact with moisture and water such as rain must be avoided.

Q3: What should I do if the solar panel has been standing or lying in the rain?

A: Dry the panel with a soft cloth and let the connection unit to dry out completely. We strongly recommend that you do not continue

to use the solar panel after this, as moisture may have penetrated the connection unit. Danger of short circuit/fire!

Q4: Can I use the solar panel on a cloudy day?

A: Yes, but you will only achieve best results in direct sunlight.

Q5: What can be the reason that the solar panel does not charge the device I have connected?

A: - Please check if the technical data of the device which should be charged match those of the solar panel. Bad weather conditions such as cloud cover can affect the output power of the solar panel. Check whether the solar panel orientation can be changed to improve the situation.

- Check that all connection cables are correctly connected and undamaged. Replace them if necessary.

- Check whether the solar panel has a visible defect or has been exposed to moisture, rain, extreme cold or shocks, strong pressure or similar.

If so, please disconnect it from all connected devices and do not continue to operate it.
