CONFIGURATION MANUAL Rev. 180601
Step 1: Check your order to make sure that all parts are included. For the 400 watt off-grid kit, this is four 100 watt
solar panels, four 10 amp inline fuses, a pair of MC4 parallel cable sets (4 inputs and 1 output on each), a pair of
15-foot MC4-to-MC4 cables, a red/black 6” MC4-to-bare cable pair, a 5-foot (10 AWG) red/black bare-wire-to-
ring-lug cable pair (charge-controller-to-battery), a 5-foot 4 awg red/black pair (battery to inverter), a Grape So-
lar PurePower 1800 inverter, and a GS-PWM-COMET-40 charge controller.
Step 2: For optimum output, place the panels so they are facing due south at approximately the same angle as
your latitude, in full sun. If you are connecting the system during daylight, cover the panel with cardboard,
cloth, or a similar option so that it does not output power. Place the panel so it is facing due south at approx-
imately the same angle as your latitude, in full sun.
