Use and Care Guide

Easy Electrical Installation
Please confirm that you have all parts to your system
before starting instaIlation. Figure 1 shows how to
connect the solar panel to the 12 Volt batteries
Step 1
Connect the charge controller to the solar panel
Step 2
Connect the battery clamps to the charge controller
Step 3
Connect the battery clamps to the battery in parallel.
(Parallel connections= Positive to Positive and Negative to
Negative)
FIGURE!1!
When installing solar panels configuration and systems, please carefully observe correct cable
connections and polarity. The solar panels can be damaged by not observing the correct electrical
installation and polarity; in addition, this will void the warranty of your solar panel(s). Having a multi-
meter handy will help to confirm correct polarities.
Extending the wiring
If you choose to mount your solar panel further away from the charge controller by extending the
wiring we recommend the following gauges at each specified distance. Use stranded wire instead of
solid wire. Stranded wire does not fatigue or loose connections over time.
Appropriate wire gauge should be used for distance and total amperage, for further
information please consult with a licensed electrician or through an online wiring chart
calculator
