Solar Trailer Assembly and Operation Manual
Introducon:
Thank you for ordering a Cung Edge Power Solar Trailer! We appreciate your purchase and we’re ready
and willing to help with any quesons or concerns you may have. With a lile bit of reading and some
quick assembly, your Solar Trailer will give you years of reliable service. If you need help, you can always
contact us at Sales@CungEdgePower.com.
The Cung Edge Power Solar Generator is designed for portability and quick setup mes. It is not
designed to be transported fully assembled since the solar panels are constructed of glass and aluminum.
Some hard bumps on the road can easily shaer the solar panel glass if they’re mounted to the solar trailer
while driving. We recommend transporng the solar panels on the deck of the trailer or in your truck bed.
However, somemes life happens and you may need to transport the panels bolted to the trailer. In this
case we recommend you drive very slow, avoid potholes and make sure the rubber washers are installed
between the solar panels’ aluminum frame and the steel strut channels. We’ll get to that later in the
manual.
When ordered with a Cung Edge Power Solar Generator, the solar generator is permanently fastened to
the trailer from the inside of the housing. This is to prevent the since the solar generator is typically the
most valuable component of these systems. If you need to remove the solar generator housing from the
trailer, you can use a 7/16” wrench inside the housing and a 7/16” wrench outside the housing to loosen
the nylon locknuts and bolts. We always recommend locking the solar generator closed when it’s le
unaended to avoid the, vandalism or a child’s curious hands.
The Cung Edge Power Rebel and Fortress Solar Generators are waterproof, so if one of these models is
included in your order, you can rest assured it will be able to withstand rain, road moisture, UV sunlight,
extreme temperatures and other weather elements for years to come. If you plan to use your solar trailer
and/or solar generator below freezing, we highly recommend ordering our baery warmers. Charging and
discharging any baery chemistry below freezing is not recommended and may void your warranty.
Let’s get started!
Solar Trailer Assembly and Operation Manual
Assembly:
1. First things rst: Check for any obvious damage or missing items before proceeding. If
anything looks damaged or missing, remember, you have a right to reject the shipment and
Cung Edge Power will help you le a claim with the freight company.
2. Insert the vercal pipes into the feet welded to the trailer and ghten down the set screw
with a 9/16” wrench/socket/crescent wrench:
The medium length vercal pipes should be on one side, the shortest vercal pipes on
the other side. Do not aempt to install the medium length / tall pipes in a front to
back conguraon. Doing so could cause issues with aerodynamics if you ever need to
drive with the panels. The dierent heights should be on one side or the other as
shown. The tall side should be on the side with the solar generator in order to open
the solar generator housing lid.
If equipped with a wind turbine: the 8 wind turbine vercal pipe must be on the
“tall side”. It doesn’t maer if it’s toward the front or back of the trailer.

3. Aach brackets to the top of the poles.
Don’t ghten these yet.
4. Place the 8 long pipes on top of both
brackets. Insert U-bolts and ghten the U-
bolts. You may need a buddy for this step.
5. Now, ghten the bracket set screws as
shown.
As menoned before, you don’t need to
overghten these.

6. Lay out the strut channel on the top pipes and hand ghten the pipe straps. Don’t ghten
them down all the way yet, but make sure they won’t fall when we aach the solar panels.
Some very rough dimensions are shown below. Don’t worry if your dimensions don’t match
exactly. You will probably need to move the strut channels a lile bit when the solar panels
are aached.

7. Carefully aach the solar panels. We recommend sll not ghtening the pipe straps down
all the way unl the end. At the very end, you can nally ghten the pipe straps and solar
panels. Note: The solar panels will be very close to each other.
8. The solar panel mounng hardware is shown below. Since the star-washer-nuts “bite” the aluminum frame of
the solar panels, you should only need a 5/16” socket/nutdriver or a sloed screwdriver to ghten the hardware
down.
Once the solar panels are ghtened down, follow the wiring diagram for your solar generator to connect the solar
panel wires.

9. Firmly ghten the trailer’s tongue with the 4 bolts, already loose in place. Tighten the trailer
light hardware.
10. If you plan to tow the trailer on public roads, you will need to register the trailer’s tle (enclosed with
the paperwork in your shipment) and obtain a license plate.

11. If a wind turbine is included, assembly is idencal, except one of the tall pipes must be
substuted with a taller 8 pipe as shown below. The wind turbine bracket must also be used,
as shown.

12. Aach the wind turbine to the ange adapter rst. The hardware is shown below:
13. Run the wire through the pipe and out the boom of the welded foot on the trailer. Connect the 3
wires to the 3 wires on the solar generator. It doesn't maer which color connects to which wire—3 phase
AC does not have polarity or hot/neutral designaons.
14. Now you can aach the blades to the hub and the hub to the wind turbine. Make sure to ghten down
the ange adapter set screws. If equipped with a brake switch, switch the wind turbine input to “run” for
charging, “o” for connecng and disconnecng, or “brake” for high wind condions to avoid damaging the
turbine.
