Solar Modul PN-Flex 83 W, Solar Modul PN-Flex 100W:
flexible, lightweight, thin-layer solar module 12V, fluoropolymer for the use
with 12Volt rechargeable batteries
This manual includes information about safety, operation, capacity and main-
tenance of the module, as well as technical instructions which you should
make yourself familiar with before you use your solar panel! Please read
these instructions carefully before installation!
Safety Warnings
This manual does not list all precautions needed for safe work.
Follow local guidelines.
Modules may not be folded or creased during handling and storage. They
may only be rolled up to a diameter of no less than 20 cm (8 inches)
Voltage of a single module is not dangerous.
Never connect more than 2 modules in series (24 V-systems)
Work under dry conditions with dry tools.
Solar modules exposed to sunlight produce DC electricity. Live parts may
cause electric shock. Avoid contact with the metal terminal leads in order
to reduce the risk of electrical shock.
Use electrically insulated tools when wiring modules.
Observe proper polarity when connecting the module into an electrical
circuit. Reverse connection will damage the module and may result in fire
and/or personal injury (Figure1).
Do not use non-rechargeable batteries!
Please follow safety and operating instructions of all batteries and electri-
cal equipment in your system.
Avoid partially shading modules under load to prevent hot spots and/or
reduction in power.
Artificially concentrated sunlight shall not be directed onto the module.
Do not carry the module by the wires.
Do not cut, scratch, disassemble or puncture the Module.
When trimming the adhesive from around the perimeter of the module,
do not cut the module in any way.
Do not stand or walk on the module.
Do not immerse unconnected connectors in liquid.
Do not drop or allow objects to fall onto the Module.
Do not attempt to open, or otherwise dismantle the junction box
Installation
1. Choose an appropriate position to assemble your panel on a solid surface.
2. Fix the module in a position that ensures the cell surface is inclined
towards the sun and choose a location where the solar module is able to
absorb as much sunlight as possible.
3. Connect the solar panel to your battery through an appropriate charge
controller (not included in delivery).
Observe correct polarity (+) and connect the terminal of the extension ca-
ble correspondingly with the positive battery pole, the charge controller, or
any other optional 12 V device and the (–) terminal with the negative pole
Reverse connection will damage the module and may result in fire and/or
personal injury
Do not immerse your panel entirely period in water for an extended period
Transportation and storage
Never roll up the panel too tightly, the minimum diameter must be 20 cm,
otherwise the module could be damaged.
Cleaning
Clean module surfaces only with alcohol, window cleaner, or a mild soap &
water solution and a lint-free cloth
Never use any pointed, or sharpedged items on it since they might damage
the panel surface!
Modules may only be
rolled up to a diameter of
no less than 20 cm (8 in).
flexible Modules may not be
folded or creased during
handling and storage.

Troubleshooting
1. Function: You can check the solar panel output with a multimeter.
2. Connections: Check the cabling for loose wires or corrosion. Check the
polarity!
3. Voltage: Check the open-circuit voltage between the positive (+) and the
negative (–) connections by means of a voltmeter
4. Battery: Make sure your battery is efficient and rechargeable. In case of
need consult your battery trader to get the exact details and instructions
of battery testing.
5. Capacity: Make sure your system components are properly selected and
installed. Consult your dealer to get more information and advice.
