Solar Expedition 450W Solar Array
a. Unroll the panel
support rack and
stand it up.

Figure 7. Unfolding and attaching PV panels
b. Unfold the PV
panels and lay them
on the rack. Ensure
the lead wires on the
back of the panels
are not caught
between the nylon
cross brace and the
back of the panel
(white arrow).
Figure 8. Seating PV panels from the top down
c. Connect the “U”-
shaped catches
on the high end
of the panel first,
then move down
the panel, properly
seating the panel
but not yet locking
the slide latches
into place. Locking
the slide latches
after seating all four
(4) panels ensures
the panels are flat
and free of strain-
induced warping.
If a panel is slightly
warped due to
strain, it is difficult
to attach the next
panel. Lock all
sliding latches after
all four panels are on
the rack.
