WARNING

• For installations with lead acid batteries, avoid sparks or flames near the batteries and always use proper eye protection.

• Given sufficient light, solar panels always generate energy even when they are disconnected. Accidental ‘shorting’ of the terminals or wiring can result in sparks causing personal injury or a fire hazard. It is recommended that the front face of the panel(s) are covered with a soft cloth to block incoming light during installation and wiring.

• When connecting panels in series do not exceed 24VDC (Max. 2 panels).

• Do not scratch or bend solar panels.

• Do not disassemble the solar panel frame.

• When mounting solar panels at a height adhere to all relevant safety regulations.

• For fixed installations ground the frame of the solar panel(s) to reduce lightning hazard.

• Do not walk on modules.

• Do not attempt to increase module output by concentrating light on its surface with mirrors.

• Be sure to use components (cables, fuses, etc) with ratings greater than 25% of solar panel/s maximum current ratings.

FEATURES

COMPACT AND POWERFUL

Polycrystalline solar panels are manufactured from a solar cell that is cast from silicon. These cells are more efficient at producing power than an amorphous panel, so the size of the panel is smaller yet produces greater output power.

HEAVY DUTY FRAME

Corrosion resistant frames are constructed to withstand wind speeds in excess of 130 km/h in typical ground mounted applications. The frames are clear anodized and the inner corner connection has a strong mechanical resistance to weather.

TEMPERED LOW IRON GLASS

Clear encapsulated insulation enhances solar cell performance and provides proven weather protection, Tempered low iron glass provides both better impact resistance and better light transmission, allowing the generation of more electricity by reducing the quantity of light that is reflected away from the module.

INSTALLATION

PLACEMENT

Locate the panel in a position where it is exposed to the sun for the majority of the day. For best results use a northern orientation. Make sure that the front side (dark side) of the solar panel faces the sun. Although the panel will function in the horizontal position, for best performance tilt the panel towards the sun especially during the winter months in the southern states. The angle of the tilt should be similar to the angle of the sun so that the panel is perpendicular to the sun rays. Recommended angles for Indonesian, Australian & New Zealand latitudes are shown below:

MOUNTING

The panels are supplied with four or eight mounting holes (depending on the model). Use suitable fasteners and mount the panel to a flat surface or mounting frame as per fig. 1, 2 & 3. Ensure the battens or frame does not twist or bend the solar panel’s aluminium frame.
