Connection and Installation

Electric Connection 

ƒ

  Carefully place the solar module in its face or cover it in a suitable way to 

avoid short circuits during installing and connecting the panel. 

ƒ

  Now connect the consumers to the solar panel. The consumers must be able 

to sustain 21 V of direct current and consume no more than 2 W. Normally 
voltage or charge regulators are required between the solar module and the 
connected consumers to regulate the voltage directed to the consumer to the 
required input voltage. Please keep in mind that consumers directly con-
nected to the solar cell cannot work within their normal parameters on days 
with no or mediocre sunshine. For this reason solar modules are normally 
used to charge batteries which can provide the necessary power during over-
cast or rainy days. 

ƒ

  Open the cover of the connection box (4) by loosening the 4 screws. 

ƒ

  Use suitable cables according to the area in which the cell is mounted. You 

require at least two leads with a minimum cross section of 0.5 mm². Do not 
use the yellow and green lead, this is reserved for use as a grounding wire 
and may not be used for other applications. 

ƒ

  Strip the ends of the leads and use suitable press-on connectors. Use the 

proper tool to press the connectors on and cut excessively long cooper wire 
off or apply suitable insulation. 

ƒ

  Connect the connectors to the contact terminals and note the colours used for 

positive and negative current. 

ƒ

 Reattach 

the 

cover. 

Mounting 

ƒ

  Use the hinge on the top of the solar panel to mount it to a suitable wall. With 

the bracket on the rear you can set the angle of the solar panel after loosen-
ing the clamping screws. Use the included mounting clip to mount the bracket 
to the wall. For alignment please refer to the next chapter. 

ƒ

  You can also use the sheet metal mounting pieces and the sliding nuts to 

mount the panel to a solid surface. Dismount the bracket (black slotted 
screws) and dismount the sheet metal mounting pieces. Turn them to the 
outside and use the countersunk screws to attach the mounting pieces to the 
sliding nuts.
