Frequently Asked Questions - SOL10P VELLEMAN

How to install the SOL10P solar panel?
Mount the panel on a flat, stable surface, facing south with a tilt of 0 to 20°. Avoid shaded areas. The junction box should face upwards. Fix securely without drilling the frame.
How to connect the panel to a battery?
Use a charge controller between the panel and the battery. Connect the positive and negative terminals with a UV-resistant cable of cross-section 1-2.5 mm². Check polarity and tighten the cable gland.
Can I connect multiple SOL10P panels?
Yes, in parallel (positive to positive and negative to negative) for a 12 V system, or in series (positive of one panel to negative of the next) for 24 V. Use a suitable controller.
What is the output voltage of the panel?
The voltage at maximum power (Vmp) is 17.6 V, and the open circuit voltage (Voc) is 21.8 V. These values vary with sunlight and temperature.
How to clean the solar panel?
Clean occasionally with a damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals, solvents, or strong detergents to avoid damaging the surface.
What are the safety precautions?
Do not disassemble the junction box; terminals are live when exposed to light. Cover the panel during wiring. Do not bend, drill, or solder the frame. Use appropriate tools.
What is the lifespan of the panel?
The typical lifespan of a polycrystalline solar panel is 25-30 years. Velleman offers a 24-month warranty. Power may slightly decrease over time.
Can the SOL10P be used in cloudy weather?
Yes, but output will be reduced. The panel works with diffuse light, but output power decreases proportionally to sunlight.
What accessories are needed for installation?
You will need UV-resistant cables (1-2.5 mm²), a charge controller, a battery, a mounting bracket (not included), and possibly connectors. Use Vaseline on terminals to prevent corrosion.
What to do in case of failure or defect?
First consult the manual. If the problem persists, contact your dealer with the purchase receipt. The warranty covers manufacturing defects for 24 months. Do not open the junction box yourself.

2. Safety Instructions

VELLEMAN SOL10P - Safety Instructions - 1

- This device can be used by children aged from 8 years and above, and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the device in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with the device. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.

VELLEMAN SOL10P - Safety Instructions - 2

- Risk of electroshock when opening the cover. Touching live wires can cause life-threatening electroshocks. Do not disassemble or open the housing yourself. Have the device repaired by qualified personnel. - As soon as the solar module is exposed to (sun)light, the terminals in the connection box will be live. To avoid short-circuits when assembling and connecting, turn them away from the light or cover them so that they are not producing electricity. Remove the covering once all connections have been made.

VELLEMAN SOL10P - Safety Instructions - 3

- Always mount the module on a straight and flat surface. Do not bend or twist the module. - Never attempt to divide or disassemble the module. - Avoid drilling or welding the frame whenever possible. - Do not use sharp metal tools or any other tools that can scratch the surface of the module. - Install the module horizontally or vertically with the connection box at the top. The solar module should be facing south at an angle of 0 - 20^ . Bear in mind that if the solar module is cast in shadow, its power output will drop considerably. Choose a location for the module with as little shade as possible.

5. Connection

  1. Use a suitable cable - preferably a UV-resistant cable with section 1-2.5 mm ^4 - depending on the length of the cable and the size of the panel.

  2. Open the connection box. Thread the cable through the cable clamp. Carefully check the polarity markings on the terminal block and connect the positive and negative wires accordingly. There are polarity markings next to the cable clamp screws.

6. Tips

6.1 General

- Coat the wires and terminal posts with Vaseline ^ to protect them from corrosion.

• Make sure that the cable clamp is tightened.

- Close the lid of the connection box tightly to prevent moisture from entering.

- If the solar module is to be mounted in a coastal area, it is extra important to protect the installation from moisture to prevent saltwater corrosion.

6.2 General

The solar module should be connected to a battery system via a charge controller.
