Practical help
Common problems
System not charging batteries
Check all wiring connections for loose contacts. Ensure the charge controller is correctly configured for the battery bank voltage (12V/24V/48V).
Lower than expected power output
Verify that the panel is not shaded by trees, buildings, or debris. Clean the surface of the panel if dirty.
Before use
- Ensure the mounting surface is stable and can support the weight of the panel (8.00 kg).
- Verify that the installation location receives maximum sunlight exposure.
- Check that the junction box is properly sealed.
- Confirm that the charge controller is compatible with the panel's Voc (20.00V) and current ratings.
- Ensure all wiring is rated for outdoor use and the appropriate gauge for the current.
Specs in practice
- Short Circuit Current (8.70A)
- The maximum current the panel can produce; used for selecting fuses and wire gauges.
