Introduction
Flisom eFlex Series modules are thin film photovoltaic devices which convert sun light into direct
electrical current (DC). The eFlex is a flexible and lightweight solar panel designed for integration into
roofs, structures with limited load bearing capacity, mobility applications on trailers, RVs, boats and
many more demanding applications.
1.1
Before you start
This manual is intended as a guideline to assist a qualified solar systems integrator in the
design and installation of a solar energy system using Flisom eFlex Series modules. It is
for installation purposes only. Flisom takes no warranty for Installation.
The electrical and mechanical design of a system using Flisom eFlex Series modules
must be completed, and the installation must be approved by a qualified solar systems
integrator. The system integrator and installer are responsible to complete installation in
accordance with the industry’s “Best Practices” methods and all applicable building,
electrical, fire and other codes and regulations in addition to the specific
recommendations stated in this manual. The Flisom eFlex Series modules are not
intended for self-installation by end users.
This manual contains information for the installation of the following modules:
Flisom eFlex Series 0.8m module
Flisom eFlex Series 1.6m module
Flisom eFlex Series 2.3m module
Flisom eFlex Series 3.1m module

Safety
Danger
Electrical shock
The generated current of a module under illumination is dangerous. Modules should be
connected only, if the system is covered and thus potential and current free. Do not
modify the module, the junction box or the connectors. Make sure that you work with dry
tools and under dry working conditions. Current has a linear behaviour with incoming
radiation and can exceed the mentioned current if the illumination is higher than under
Standard Test conditions (STC). Fix issues in the grounding immediately.
Working on live parts
When working on wiring use safety equipment (insulating gloves, shoes, etc) and
appropriate tools (insulating tools, etc). Make sure that you have grounded the modules
and the mounting construction. Do not use damaged or broken modules. Repair or
replace damaged modules or cables immediately. Do not dismantle modules or the
junction box.
