FAQs
Can I leave the awning open during a rainstorm?
It is recommended to retract the awning during heavy rain or high winds to prevent potential damage to the structure.
Do I need an electrician for the lights?
No, the LEDs are solar-powered and require no electrical wiring or grid connection.
What kind of wall is required for installation?
The awning should be mounted to a solid, stable structure such as brick, concrete, or reinforced wood capable of supporting the weight of the awning.
Can the awning be operated if the solar battery is empty?
Yes, the manual shade operation is independent of the solar lighting system.
How do I clean the fabric?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and wash the fabric with a mixture of water and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly and allow it to dry completely before retracting.
Troubleshooting
LED lights not turning on at night
Ensure the solar panel is not obstructed by shadows during the day and check that the battery is receiving adequate sunlight exposure.
Awning is difficult to crank
Check for debris in the guide arms or ensure the unit is not being forced; if resistance continues, verify that the unit is level and not suffering from frame misalignment.
Canopy fabric looks loose
Adjust the tension of the retractable arms according to the manufacturer's installation manual to ensure the fabric remains taut when fully extended.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires a sturdy wall and standard mounting hardware suited to your specific wall material (such as brick, concrete, or wood). Ensure the mounting site is level to allow the awning to extend evenly. For maintenance, clean the canopy fabric periodically with mild soap and water to prevent dirt buildup, and check the frame bolts annually for tightness. During heavy storms or winter months, it is highly recommended to fully retract the awning to prevent wind damage or stress on the mounting points.
