Installation Precautions
1. Exercise special caution if working on roof
or another high location. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. Follow ladder supplier’s
precautions whenever working near or on a ladder.
2. Install all sensitive electrical components
(including wiring connections, regulator,
and battery) inside a weatherproof
enclosure to prevent electric shock.
3. Do not wire multiple panels in series. If you need
to connect two or more solar panels together,
this work must be done by a qualied electrician
unless they are connected through a regulator.
4. This solar panel kit is not designed for tie-in to a grid.
Only a licensed electrician and a licensed building
contractor can safely design and implement a
grid tie-in system. Any grid tie-in system must
meet all applicable building and electrical codes,
and must meet standards established by the area
power company. Improper grid tie-in can result in
electrocution, re, and other serious personal injury
and property damage. An incorrectly installed grid
tie-in system can cause feedback voltage, resulting
in electrocution of electrical utility workers.
5. Do not stand on or otherwise
apply pressure to panel.
6. Handle solar panel with care,
edges may be sharp.
7. Do not focus light on panel.
8. Install components with enough
space to allow proper cooling.
9. This product may occasionally produce more
current and/or voltage than its rated output.
Increase output ratings by 25% when determining
component required voltage and amperage
ratings. Refer to Section 690-8 of the National
Electrical Code for an additional multiplying factor of
125 percent (80 percent derating) which may apply.
10. Panel must be connected using UL listed
outdoor rated wire at least 18 AWG thick and
25’ long or less (see warning number 9 also).
11. Install an appropriate charge controller/regulator
to regulate output and prevent damage.
Do not attach panel to battery or power grid without
proper regulator, inverter, and/or charge controller.
12. Install and use according to applicable
National Electrical Code (NEC) standards.
13. This panel is not rated for use as re-resistant
roong. If installing on a roof, install only over a re
resistant roof covering rated for the application.
14. Verify that installation surface has no hidden
utility lines before drilling or driving screws.
