Installation Steps
1. Fixing the Solar Panel to the Roof
- Clean the surface of the van's roof where the solar panel will be mounted. Make sure it's free of dust and grease for better adhesion.
- Place the ABS brackets on the corners of the panel and use the special adhesive to fix them to the roof.
- Let the adhesive dry for the time recommended in the instructions before continuing.
- Run the cables through the grommet included in the ABS bracket, ensuring a clean and airtight installation.
2. Connecting the Solar Panel to the Charge Controller
- Install the MC4 connectors on the ends of the red (+) and black (-) solar cables coming out of the panel.
- Connect the red (+) cable from the solar panel to the positive input terminal of the MPPT controller.
- Connect the black (-) cable from the solar panel to the negative input terminal of the MPPT controller.
3. Connecting the Charge Controller to the AGM Battery
- Connect the 6mm² red (+) cable from the MPPT controller output to the positive (+) terminal of the AGM battery.
- Connect the 6mm² black (-) cable from the MPPT controller output to the negative (-) terminal of the AGM battery.
- Use the lug and socket terminals to properly secure the cables to the battery, ensuring a firm and secure connection.
IMPORTANT: Always connect the battery to the controller first before connecting the solar panel to avoid damage to the equipment.
4. Configuration and Testing
