Warnings
Avoid All Electrical Hazards.
Disconnect batteries and electrical system from any source of electrical power
before attempting to install your Go Power!™ SUNfilm.
Solar module safety:
- Photovoltaic modules generate DC electricity when exposed to light. Contact with the electrically active parts of the module, such as terminals, can result in burns, sparks, and lethal shock, regardless of the module being connected or disconnected.
- Do not touch the terminals while the module is exposed to light. Cover the module face completely with opaque material to halt the production of electricity when installing or working with modules or wiring.
- Be aware that the solar module is a live power source generating electricity when exposed to any light source. Do not drop the solar module or allow objects to fall on it. Do not concentrate sunlight on the solar module with a mirror or lens.
Observe proper polarity throughout the SUNfilm installation.
Follow the Safety Precautions of the battery manufacturer. Do not produce
sparks when working in locations where flammable gases or vapors exist.

Installation Requirements
- LOCATION: Select a location for the SUNfilm that is in direct sun. If the unit is placed in a shaded area it may greatly reduce power output.
- MOUNTING – If mounting the SUNfilm, use any flat surface. Secure to the selected location using fasteners or using self-adhesive Velcro strips (not provided). Do not drill or alter the frame in any way, doing so will void the warranty.
- CONNECTION – see section 4.1 for connection options.
- IMPORTANT – Pulling the SUNfilm power cable may cause undo stress on the junction box. The power cable should never support the weight of the module.
