IMPORTANT
Dust and dirt on the glass face reduce power production. Clean regularly your panel,
using a soft cloth or a soft brush and soapy water (corrosive products banished).
Setting up Unisun modules in direct contact with the roof (without Unifix mounting
bracket) is banished.
Panel coupling: couple panels with equivalent powers (3 panels maximum).

Dear customers, thank you very much for purchasing. Please read carefully and thoroughly all the
instructions before using the product.
Unisun is the high-performance monocrystalline module range for leisure applications (boating, camper
van), off-grid or signs.
Their multi-layer structure ensures an exceptional performance even in case of low sunshine or heat
conditions. Their high transmissibility tempered glass and their anodized aluminium frame preserve them
from external attacks (impacts, oxidation, corrosion).
With their anti hot-spot system, the panels are protected against the hotspot effects that can occur with
cells occupation.
The Unisun range is composed of compact panels which optimize the available space. Adjustable for more
power, connecting them in series or parallel is facilitated by their MC4-type solar connectors.
For the module/solar charge controller/battery connection, we recommend the Uniconnect ready-to-use
kits which optimize your electrical performances and make your installation easier:
- Uniconnect 1.6 = 1 module connection
- Uniconnect 2.6 = 2 modules connection
- Uniconnect 3.6 = 3 modules connection
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Take appropriate measures to prevent accidents during the mounting work.
If the module or the bracket are exposed to sunlight for a long time, there is a risk of burns. Protect
yourself.
Once the work is achieved, check that your mounting brackets and modules are perfectly fixed.
During the maintenance, please disconnect the solar system. Connection cables must never be
powered up: risk of electrical arc.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Set the Unisun modules on surfaces presenting a sufficient lift. Consider the extra charge with module
+ bracket.
The placement of the sensors influences your electrical performances. Choose the optimal
inclination and orientation depending on your environment. Avoid shadow areas or objects sources
of shade.
Dust and dirt on the glass face reduce power production. Clean regularly your panel, using a soft
cloth or a soft brush and soapy water (corrosive products are banished).
Check regularly the quality of your module connections.

UNICONNECT KIT : MODULE WIRING
7/16 www.uniteck.fr
For the connection module/solar charge controller/battery, we recommend the Uniconnect ready-to-use
kits:
- Uniconnect 1.6 = 1 module connection
- Uniconnect 2.6 = 2 modules connection
- Uniconnect 3.6 = 3 modules connection
Uniconnect kits are equipped with flexible solar cables with a tinned copper core resistant to extreme
conditions (from -40°C to 120°C, UV, immersion…). With its 6 mm² section, it optimizes the output
power of your installation by assuring a minimal voltage drop.
It easily and rapidly fits with panels (MC4-type solar connectors). They include a fuse kit to protect your
installation and your battery and are supplied with a waterproof roof-pass (UV resistant), battery
terminals and cable guides.

UNICONNECT KIT : ROOF PASS INSTALLATION
11/16 www.uniteck.fr
Follow these instructions :
Drill the wall with a hole saw. Diameter between 15 and 20mm.
Roof pass fixing :
- For a vehicle use with Unifix 1C kit:
Clean the selected area with the degreaser supplied with the Unifix 1C kit (do not use alcohol/
white spirit...).
Apply the adhesive supplied with your Unifix 1.C bracket on the white area shown (see image
below). Then place it on the drilled place.
-For a use on roof/wall: fix your roof pass using 2 self-strapping screws.

UNICONNECT KIT : ROOF PASS INSTALLATION

Pass the cables. Keep a sufficient length for your wiring. Tighten the nuts from the gland to ensure
impermeability.
Close the cover with 2 plastic screws.
Connect the connectors together. (No risk of mistakes, the connectors are polarized).
