NOTE
When using MPPT controllers, it is best to always wire solar pan-
els in series configuration even when batteries are configured for 12V.
The MPPT controller will translate the voltage.
NOTE:
When wiring 2 panels in a 24V configuration you will have two
unused wires on the RPST
-
CABLE
-
4PANEL cable assembly. Wrap the
ends with electrical tape to avoid any shorting of the panels.
STEP 10:
Install the batteries in the enclosure. If using multiple batter-
ies, connect in parallel for 12V output or connect in series
for 24V output. The solar controller will automatically de-
tect the battery voltage.
If batteries are installed on their side make sure to apply
an insulator (included) to the top of the battery terminal to
prevent the battery terminals from shorting to the metal
enclosure in case the battery shifts inside the enclosure
during an earthquake.
