I get no output from my SP200 solar panels. Just stopped working.
I’ve had a SP200 panel for about year. I’ve used it ~20 times during camping. When I first got it, it would put out about 180w in full sun.
During July 4th weekend, I noticed I couldn’t get more than 90w out of the panel in full afternoon sun. Didn’t think much of it at the time.
3 days ago, I got to set up the panels again to charge my EB70 and now I get no output from the panels. I checked the cables, swapped with a new MC4 cable, two different Eb70…no luck.
The panels have never seen water, been lightly used. Any ideas?

Update: I was able to work with Bluetti CS and get my issue resolved.
It did take a while to get their attention at first but once I got a response, the process was seamless after that. Kudos to their CS for helping to resolve my issue.
I was able to RMA the panel.
I sent their CS a video of my issue, and they opened an RMA for me. Since I live close to one of their Depots, I received a newer PV200 panel as a replacement.
Once you get their attention, they are very responsive.
I also found them very responsive and quick with my damaged PV-200s. They offered me a discount for the damage if I was willing to fix it myself (which I would have been if not for…), then immediately sent an RMA and return label for the damaged panels when I discovered that the panel had a crack in addition to the initial obvious damage they had from shipping. About as pain-free as you could possibly ask for a return, I’m happy and my image of the company has not been hit as a result.
I sent pictures of both damage spots with my initial service contact request, they never asked for anything in particular.
