electrical requirements for photovoltaic systems. Keep this guide in a safe place for
future reference.
• All solar panels come with permanently attached output ports. Your dealer can
provide additional extension cables to simplify module wiring.
• Exercise caution when wiring or handling solar panels exposed to sunlight.
• Photovoltaic solar panels convert light energy to direct-current electrical
energy and are designed for outdoor use.
• Solar panels may be hung, placed flat, or use provided kickstand to face
towards the sun.
• Do not frequently connect or disconnect wires attached to solar panels when
they are exposed to sunlight in order to extend panel service life.
• Do not attempt to disassemble the solar panel, and do not remove any
attached nameplates or components. Doing so will void the warranty.
• Do not apply paint or adhesive to the solar panel.
• Do not use mirrors or other hardware to artificially concentrate sunlight on the
solar panel.
Safety Precautions for Using a Foldable Solar Panel
• Solar panels produce electrical energy when exposed to sunlight.
• FLEXSOLAR® solar panels can be connected in series. When connected together
(either in series or parallel), make sure that each solar panel has the same
rated voltage. Your dealer can provide additional cables to simplify panel
connections.
• Observe the instructions and safety precautions for all other components used
in the system, including wiring, cables, connectors, and etc.
• Use only equipment, connectors, wiring, and mounting hardware suitable for
use in a photovoltaic system.
• Always use the same type of solar panel in a particular photovoltaic system.
• Under normal operating conditions, solar panels will produce currents and
voltages that may vary from those listed in the data sheet. Data sheet values
are applicable at standard test conditions only.
General Operation Notes
• Do not stand or step on the solar panel.
• Do not drop the solar panel or allow objects to fall on the solar panel.
• Do not place any heavy objects on the solar panel.
