Frequently Asked Questions - MSFL150 Mestic

How to install the MSFL150 solar panel?

Fix the panel using the holes on the edges or glue it with a UV-resistant sealant. Make sure the surface is clean and the panel is facing the sun without shade.

Can I connect multiple MSFL150 panels together?

Yes, for a 12 V system, connect the panels in parallel (+ to +, - to -). For a 24 V system, connect them in series (+ of one panel to - of the next).

What charge controller should I use with this panel?

Use a charge controller suitable for the panel's power (150 W) and your battery voltage (12 V or 24 V). Follow the controller's instructions.

How to clean the solar panel?

Clean the surface with a soft cloth and a detergent composed of 50% water. Avoid abrasive products and do not step on the panel.

What to do if the panel does not produce electricity?

Check the electrical connections (clean and dry) and the condition of the MC4 cables. Ensure the panel is not shaded and the charge controller is working properly.

Is the MSFL150 panel waterproof?

The panel is designed for outdoor use, but the junction box must be protected from moisture. Make sure the MC4 connectors are tightly sealed.

Can I walk or sit on the panel?

No, do not walk, stand, or jump on the panel. Uneven pressure can damage the cells.

What is the output voltage of the panel?

The voltage at maximum power is 19.5 V and the open circuit voltage is 23.4 V. The output voltage depends on lighting and load.

How to connect the panel to a 12 V battery?

Connect the panel to the charge controller, then the controller to the battery. Ensure the controller is suitable for a 12 V battery and the polarities are respected.

Can I use this panel for a 24 V system?

Yes, by connecting two MSFL150 panels in series, you get enough voltage for a 24 V system. Use a charge controller suitable for 24 V.

General instructions

Before using this appliance, read the operating instructions carefully. Keep the manual for future use.

General assembly instructions

Note: as soon as the solar panel is exposed to light or sunlight, the terminals in the junction box are energised. To avoid short circuits when mounting and connecting the solar panels, you can turn the panels away from the light or cover them so that they do not produce electricity during the assembly process. Remove the cover when the connection is complete.

Note: The solar panels positive and negative cables should be disconnected before installation.

1. Do not step, stand or jump on any part of the panel. Uneven pressure may damage the cells.
2. Never try to disassemble the panel.
3. Keep all electrical contacts clean and dry.
4. Avoid drilling or welding in the frame wherever possible.
5. Do not use sharp metal tools or other objects that may scratch the surface of the panel.
6. Do not carelessly bend, shake, fold or drop the panel.
7. Use insulated tools suitable for electrical installation.
8. Choose a location for the panel with as little shade as possible. Keep in mind that if the solar panel is shaded, the power output will decrease.
9. Always connect the battery to the charge controller before connecting the solar module.
10. Check the system regularly to make sure it is functioning normally.
11. Photovoltaic systems must only be installed by qualified personnel.

Installation methods

1. The provided installation methods serve as guidelines. Mestic only provides certain installation accessories, but does not supply components for a comprehensive vehicle system installation. System installers should verify that the installation is safe and complies with all panel specifications.
2. The panel can be fastened through the holes in its edges, or by gluing with appropriate mounting UV and water resistant sealant, glue or double-sided tape on the back of the panel.
3. A solar panel must be connected to a battery system via a charge controller. For correct installation, follow the instructions supplied with the controller.

Series and parallel connection

If more than one panel is used, they can be connected either in series or in parallel.

12V

Parallel:

To connect 2 solar panels in a 12 V system, connect the panels in parallel by connecting the plus to the plus and the minus to the minus.

24V

Series:

To connect 2 solar panels in a 24 V system, connect the panels in series by connecting the plus of one panel to the minus of the next panel.

Maintenance

1. Generally, normal rainfall and wind are enough to keep the module clean. If necessary, you can clean the surface with a soft cloth with a mild detergent and 50% water.
2. Inspect electrical connections regularly, to make sure they are clean, secure and undamaged.
