Quick guide from the manual
The EcoFlow 175W Rigid Solar Panel (EF-SG-M175-01) is designed for professional solar installations. This document provides essential safety guidelines and technical specifications. Installation must be performed by a qualified solar installation company to ensure safety and compliance with local regulations.
Safety Instructions
Installation
- Qualified Personnel: This solar system must be installed by a qualified solar installation company.
- Preparation: Before installation, the solar panel should be completely covered with opaque material and the positive and negative terminals disconnected to prevent power generation.
- Inspection: Carefully check the solar panel for broken glass or a damaged back panel. Stop installation or use immediately if damage is found.
- Tools and Safety: Do not wear metal jewelry during installation. Use only insulated tools approved for electrical installation.
- Mounting: When installing on a roof or vehicle body, leave a gap between the solar panel and the surface to facilitate airflow and heat dissipation.
- Compliance: Comply with all local and national regulations for roof and ground installations.
Usage
- System Integration: When installing and using the solar system, follow safety regulations for all other modules in the system, including connecting wires, cables, connectors, controllers, charging regulators, inverters, and accumulators.
- Protection: Do not apply substances that block light (paint, adhesive, etc.) to the light-receiving surface. Do not irradiate the surface with artificially amplified sunlight.
- Maintenance: Ensure the installation area is well-ventilated and connectors are clean and dry. All connections must be sealed to prevent moisture.
- Handling: Do not place heavy objects on the solar panel during use to avoid damage.
