Use and Care Guide

Please refer to the run times chart to choose how much solar power your desired system requires. Note
that all run times and ratings are approximate and may vary depending on your location and time of day
and are based on 7 Hours of full sunlight a day.

Maintenance
Monitoring your Solar System
To confirm your solar panels are generating power we suggest purchasing a multi-meter. Annual
testing and inspections are recommended to confirm all connections are secure and panels are
functioning properly.
Open voltage testing of solar panels may range from 11 Volts up to 21.6 Volts depending on the
intensity of the sun, this is within normal range.
Upon annual inspections it is recommended to wipe all solar panels with a damp towel to remove dust
and debris covering the panels, as layers of dust can affect the solar panel voltage.
Routine Maintenance Check List
v Check and replace damaged components if necessary
v Clean with a damp towel or cloth remove all debris
v Check and maintain the battery electrolyte levels are at regular intervals as per the battery
manufacturer's recommendations if flooded wet cell lead acid batteries are used
v Check solar panel open voltage range
v Check solar panel close circuit range
v Confirm all wiring connections are secure and tight
v Confirm all mounting connections are secure and tight
