Installation precautions

1. 

Exercise special caution if working on roof 
or another high location.  

Keep proper footing 

and balance at all times.  Follow ladder supplier’s 
precautions whenever working near or on a ladder.

2. 

Install all sensitive electrical components 
(including wiring connections, regulator, 
and battery) inside a weatherproof 
enclosure to prevent electric shock.

3. 

Do not wire multiple panels in series. 

If you 

need to connect two or more solar panels together, 
this work must be done by a qualified electrician 
unless they are connected through a regulator.

4.  This solar panel kit is not designed for tie-in to a 

grid.  Only a licensed electrician and a licensed 
building contractor can safely design and implement 
a grid tie-in system.  Any grid tie-in system must 
meet all applicable building and electrical codes, 
and must meet standards established by the area 
power company.  Improper grid tie-in can result 
in electrocution, fire, and other serious personal 
injury and property damage.  An incorrectly installed 
grid tie-in system can cause feedback voltage, 
resulting in electrocution of electrical utility workers.

5. 

Do not stand on or otherwise 
apply pressure to panel.
