6.2 Mounting the solar panel

A
NOTICE! Damage hazard
Always use gloves when handling the solar panels. Solar panels are sensitive to oils and
abrasive surfaces. Minimize panel contact as much as possible, especially with any
abrasive surfaces.
A
NOTICE! Damage hazard
Mount the solar panel away from obstructions such as vents, air conditioning units, etc.
A
NOTICE! Damage hazard
Do not install solar panels on a surface that is not fire resistant or that can be damaged
by high temperatures.
I
NOTE
Plan out the wire routing before permanently mounting the devices and any wiring. In
many installations it is better to mock up the whole installation before mounting the
devices.
I
NOTE
Mount the solar panels on the roof above the battery location to keep wire run as short
as possible.
1. Clean the mounting surface with degreaser.
2. Remove the protective layer from the top of the solar panel.
3. Peel back a small portion of the non-stick layer of the adhesive backing tape on top or bottom of the solar
panel (fig. 2, page 4, 1).
A
NOTICE! Damage hazard
The adhesive backing tape of the solar panel will not bond to the surface properly if the
temperature of the surface is below 8 °C.
4. Place the side of the solar panel with the exposed backing adhesive in the desired position.
5. Remove the remainder of the non-stick layer of the adhesive tape.
6. Apply even pressure on the entire solar panel to ensure it is properly adhered to the mounting surface.
7. Apply waterproof sealing tape around the entire perimeter of the solar panel (fig. 2, page 4, 2).
I
NOTE
If using multiple solar panels, leave a gap of 25 mm between panels to allow expansion
and contraction, and to ensure solar cells are not covered with sealing tape.
