Use
Before first use
As soon as the solar panel is exposed to light or sunlight, the terminals in
the connection box will be conducting electricity. To avoid short circuits
when assembling and connecting the panels, turn them away from sunlight or
cover so that they are not producing electricity during the connection
procedure. Remove the covering when all the connections have been made.
For full function the panel should be supplemented (sold separately) with:
- Mount
- Charge regulator
- Battery
Assembly
Install the panel in a mount either horizontally or vertically with the
connection box at the top. The solar panel should be facing south at a
vertical angle of 30-40° (summer) and 0-20° (winter).
Choose a location for the panel with as little shade possible since shadows
will reduce the output power.
Connection
Open the connection box on the back of the panel by unscrewing and removing
the lid. Unscrew the cable fastener (1) at the bottom of the connection box
and enter the cable. Use a suitable UV-resistant cable, 1.5-4 mm’ depending on
the length of the cable and size of the panel. Note the polarity markings on
the terminal block (2, 3) and connect the wires accordingly. Tighten the cable
fastener to secure the cable.
Coat the wires and terminal posts with Vaseline to protect them from
corrosion. Close the lid of the connection box tightly to prevent moisture
from entering, this is especially important if the panel is to be used in a
coastal or high air humidity area.
- Cable fastener
- Negative terminal
- Positive terminal
Safety instructions
Always mount the panel on a straight, flat surface.
Handle the solar panel with care. Do not try to modify or disassemble the
solar panel or its frame yourself .
Do not use sharp metal tools or anything that could scratch the surface of the
panel. Install the panel in such a way that air can circulate freely around
it.
Multi-panel use
12V
To use several panels in a 12 V system, connect them in parallel by connecting
positive and negative between panels prior to connecting to the charge
regulator.
24V
To use several panels in a 24 V system, connect them in series by connecting
the positive of one panel to the next panel negative. The remaining negative
and positive connectors are made to the charge regulator.
