2. Safety Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

| 2 | negative terminal |
| 3 | positive terminal |
5. Connection
-
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.
-
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.
If more than one panel is used, they can be connected in either series or parallel.
SOL10P/SOL30P/SOL60P
Parallel Connection:
Connect your solar modules in parallel by connecting the positive to positive and the negative to negative.
Series Connection:
Connect your solar modules in series by connecting the positive of one module to the negative of the next module.
7. Cleaning and Maintenance
Occasionally wipe with a damp cloth to keep it looking new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents or strong detergents.
