General Information
A new RENOGY Off-Grid Solar Kit will provide you with a clean, silent, and sustainable
way of ensuring that batteries are fully charged and capable of providing a continuous supply of
electricity. Each kit comes equipped with a high quality solar panel that features highly efficient
silicon solar cells. If you have purchased a
RENOGY Off-Grid Solar Kit, a PWM Solar Charge
Controller is also included in the package. This controller will serve as a connector between the
solar panel and the batteries. The solar charge controller will ensure that the battery is charged
with the appropriate amount of solar power as per the battery manufacturer’s recommendations.
The sola
r charge controller ‘charging states’ are optimized to meet the requirements of most
standard lead acid batteries as well as flooded batteries. The RENOGY Off-Grid Solar Kit also
includes a mounting system comprised of sturdy aluminum Z-Brackets as well as the nuts and
bolts required to flat mount a solar panel onto a roof or any other flat surface. If you wish to
optimize your panel’s collection of sunlight by tilting the panel to a different inclination, an
adjustable tilt-mount may be purchased separately.
This manual will provide you with instructions on how to assemble the various
