QuickStart Setup
Valid from June 2018
Step 1: Check your order to make sure that all parts are included. For the 200 watt kit, this is two 100 watt solar
panels, two inline fuses (10A each), a pair of MC4-comparable T-branch connectors, a 15-foot MC4 cable
(to be cut in half), two 5-foot red/black bare-wire-to-ring-lug cable pair (one for charge-controller-to-
battery, one for battery-to-inverter), a Xantrex Xpower 450 inverter, and a GS-PWM-COMET-40 charge
controller.
Step 2: For optimum output, place the panels so
they are facing due south at approximately
the same angle as your latitude, in full sun.
If you are connecting the system during
daylight, cover the panel with cardboard,
cloth, or a similar option so that it does not
output power.

Step 3: Mount controller if desired (note that it must be in a NEMA-4 rated enclosure if it is outdoors).
Step 4: Use the 5-foot red & black cable pair to connect your positive and negative battery terminals to the
“Battery Positive” (use red cable from the positive battery terminal) and “Battery Negative” (use black ca-
ble from the negative battery terminal) inputs of the charge controller (the middle set of terminals).
