PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLATION
NOTE:
• Avoid Electrical Hazards when installing, wiring, operating, and maintaining your Solar Module. The solar
module included generates DC electricity when exposed to sunlight or other light sources.
• For use in 12-Volt systems only.
• Observe proper polarity throughout entire power cable wiring route.
• Work Safely. Do not wear jewelry when working with electrical or mechanical equipment. Use protective
eyewear when working with batteries or drills. Use extreme caution when on ladders or on roof.
• Follow all Safety Precautions of the Battery Manufacturer. Some batteries can release flammable hydrogen
gas. Do not produce sparks when working in locations where flammable gases or vapors exist. Shield skin and
eyes from battery acid. Wash thoroughly with water if skin or clothing come in contact with acid or any
corrosive matter, which may have accumulated, on the battery. Keep the terminals and casing clean.
• Use a Charge Controller for wattages above 15W (not included).
• Do not attempt to charge non-rechargeable batteries.
• Always connect charge controller to battery first.
• When disconnecting, always disconnect battery last.
General Information Regarding “CIGS”:
Sunforce Products Pro Series, high efficiency photovoltaic modules, are made using the latest Copper Indium Gallium
diSelenide (“CIGS”) solar cells, which represents the latest advances in thin film solar technology.
The modules provide for consistent power and do not degrade over time when exposed to sunlight. Furthermore, studies
have shown that “CIGS” material, actually yields more energy per kW installed, due to better performance in low light.
Sunforce Pro Series “CIGS” panels incorporate “Multijunction” Technology to allow a greater absorption of solar energy,
leading to increased overall efficiency.
The module is constructed using high quality and proven technology in its construction and makes for a robust lightweight
solar module.
INSTRUCTIONS
MOUNTING THE SOLAR PANEL:
1. Choose an appropriate location that provides the most direct sunlight and can support the solar panel,
and is free from shade. Be aware of surrounding objects, although an object seems far from the
mounting location it may still obscure the sun from the panel. The ideal year round position for a solar
panel in the Northern Hemisphere is facing due South tilted at an angle equal to your latitude. For most
North American locations any angle between 30 and 50 degrees is suitable. Note: Mounting a solar
panel vertically will optimize low winter sun position but is not beneficial in the summer months.
2. Using the mounting brackets and screws included, first attach the bracket to the solar panel. Place the
rubber ring between the panel and the bracket. The rubber ring allows for air flow between the panel
and the mounting surface, maximizing the efficiency of the panel. Note: If mounting to a roof of a
