Warning:

module included generates DC electricity when exposed to sunlight or other light sources.
• For use in 12-Volt systems only.
• Observe proper polarity throughout entire power cable wiring route.
• Work Safely. Do not wear jewelry when working with electrical or mechanical equipment. Use protective
eyewear when working with batteries or drills. Use extreme caution when on ladders or on a roof.
• Follow all Safety Precautions of the battery manufacturer. Some batteries can release flammable hydrogen
gas. Do not produce sparks when working in locations where flammable gases or vapors exist. Shield skin
and eyes from battery acid. Wash thoroughly with water if skin or clothing comes into contact with acid or
any corrosive matter, which may have accumulated on the battery. Keep the terminals and casing clean.
• Use a Charge Controller for wattages above 15 Watts.

MOUNTING THE SOLAR PANEL:
1. Choose an appropriate location that provides the most direct sunlight and can support the solar panel, and
is free from shade. Be aware of surrounding objects. Although an object seems far from the mounting
location it may still obscure the sun from the panel. The ideal year round position for a solar panel in the
Northern Hemisphere is facing due south tilted at an angle equal to your latitude. For most North American
locations any angle between 30 and 50 degrees is suitable. Note: Mounting a solar panel vertically will
optimize low winter sun position but is not beneficial in the summer months.
2. Using the mounting brackets and screws included, first attach the bracket to the solar panel. Place the
rubber ring between the panel and the bracket. The rubber ring allows for air flow between the panel and the
mounting surface, maximizing the efficiency of the panel. Note: If mounting to a roof of a vehicle, it may be
necessary to drill holes in the roof. These holes should be resealed once the panel is installed. Clear silicon
