information, which you should be familiar with
before using your Flexcell solar panel. Please read
it carefully!
Caution
Photovoltaic modules produce electricity when
exposed to light. The voltage from a single module
is
not
considered
hazardous,
connected in series the shock hazard increases,
due to increase in voltage.
When connecting the sunboard to batteries and
other
electrical
equipment,
industry standards and manufacturer's safety
precautions.
"Rules to respect"
• Make electrical connections to or from the
Sunboard preferably in low light conditions to
reduce the risk of electrical sparking.
• Make connections in a well-ventilated area free
of flammable gases or vapours.
• Check polarity! All connections must be positive
(Red, +) to positive; and negative (Black, -) to
negative. Incorrect connection will damage the
Sunboard and may result in electrical shock or fire
hazard.
•

• Always, attach the Sunboard securely to a

of the panel is supported.
Installation instructions
1) Select the best mounting location:
Mount the Sunboard, with the cell side oriented to
the sun, in a location that will receive direct
sunlight
throughout
the
day.
performance position the solar panel to face the
midday sun.
2) Use the corner grommets to properly tie or
fasten the Sunboard to a fixed structure.

Operating instructions
The solar panel must be properly supported to avoid
bending.
3) If required, connect the solar panel cable to the 3
meter extension cable.
4) Identify the correct polarity (Red+, Black-) and
connect the red terminal of the 3 m extention cable
to the positive post of the battery, charge controller

FAQs
How do I know which Sunboard's size I need?
642 x 1310
Consult the application chart below.
How do I know if the Sunboard is working?
You can check the solar panel output with a volt-
meter.
Will this product drain my battery at night?
No. There is a built-in blocking diode to prevent
reverse draining of current.
and
technical
Can I leave the Sunboard outside permanently?
Yes, if properly attached and secured. Terminals
should be kept clean and firmly connected.
What if the product gets wet?
The product is waterproof.
What if the product is submerged in water?
however,
if
Simply wipe the product with a dry cloth. Avoid
having the product completely submerged for an
extended period of time.
please
observe
How do I clean and maintain the sunboard?
The Sunboard requires practically no maintenance.
Simply wipe the surface with a damp cloth or with a
mild soap solution to clean the panel. Do not use any
abrasive cleaner or solvent as this will damage the
panel.
Do I need a charge controller?
A charge controller is used to prevent overcharging.
A charge controller should be used if the current
output of the solar panel (in Amps) is more than 1% of
the battery capacity (in Amp-hours). Consult the
battery manufacturer for complete battery informa-
tion and recommendations. As an example, with a
NON-
Sunboard 7 Watt (450 mA), a charge controller
would be recommended with a battery that is less
than 45 Amp-hours.
Troubleshooting
1) Connection - Inspect your wiring for any sign of
loose wires or corrosion. Check polarity!
2) Voltage - Use a voltmeter to test the open circuit
For
maximum
voltage between the positive (Red+) and negative
(Black-) terminals.
3) Battery - Ensure that your battery continues to be
able to be recharged.

Contact your battery's manufacturer for more
detailed guidelines on battery testing.
4) Size - Make sure you are using a properly sized
system. Consult the application chart below for
guidelines.
Installation
First connect your solar panel via the AMP
Superseal IP67 waterproof connector to the 3 m
extension cable (included).
Then either connect the Sunboard direct to a 12 V
battery, with the appropriate terminals (not
included),
or connect your Sunboard, your battery and your
load (e.g. a light) to a charge controller (not
included).
