1. Purpose

2. Disclaimer

3. General Safety Information

This manual contains information about the solar energy components and their installation. Please make sure you read 
and fully understand this manual before purchasing and installing the panels to ensure that you use them correctly. 

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us for further clarification and explanation. 
When installing modules, installers should follow all safety precautions specified in this manual and any local 
regulations. Before installing solar photovoltaic systems, installers should be familiar with the mechanical and 
electrical requirements of such systems.
After reading this manual, keep it in a safe place for future reference on service and maintenance information.
This document applies to the following solar component series: 

As the use of this manual as well as the conditions or methods for the installation, operation, use and maintenance 
of photovoltaic (PV) products may exceed the control of EcoFlow, EcoFlow assumes no responsibility for such non-
standard installations and operations, and expressly disclaims any loss, damage, and maintenance requirements 
arising therefrom or in any way related thereto.
EcoFlow shall not be liable for any infringement of third-party patents or other rights that may result from the adoption 
of the installation methods, accessories, etc. that are not provided by our company during installation and use.
The product information and installation examples in this manual are provided based on EcoFlow's and our partners' 
relevant knowledge and experience and are considered to be reliable; however, the restrictions and recommendations in 
such information, including product specifications, do not constitute any express or implied warranty.
Before using the product, please read the User Manual and the disclaimer of liability for this product carefully. 
Once you use this product, it will be deemed that you have understood, acknowledged and accepted all the 
terms and contents of this document, and the user shall be responsible for their actions and all consequences 
arising therefrom. EcoFlow hereby disclaims any liability for any losses due to the user's failure to use the product 
according to the User Manual.
In compliance with laws and regulations, the company shall have the final right to interpret this document and all related 
documents for this product. Any update, revision or termination of the contents thereof, if necessary, shall be made 

Solar photovoltaic systems must only be installed by qualified personnel with relevant professional skills and knowledge. 
All solar modules are equipped with a permanently connected junction box and 2.5 mm

) wires. Installers shall 

bear all risk of injury that may occur during installation, including, but not limited to, the risk of electric shock.
When exposed to direct sunlight, a single module may generate DC voltages greater than 24 V. Exposure to DC 
voltages of 24 V or higher is potentially dangerous. Arcing may occur when disconnecting wires that are connected 
to the PV components exposed to sunlight. Such arcing may cause burns or a fire. Please operate with special care, 
otherwise it may give rise to further issues. It is therefore important to protect yourself from electricity!
The solar modules convert solar energy into DC electricity, and they are designed for outdoor use. Modules can 
be mounted on top of a fixed outdoor object, and the system designer and installer shall be responsible for the 
compliance of the design of their supporting structure.
Do not attempt to disassemble the module, or remove any attached nameplates or components.
Do not apply paint, adhesives or substances that block the battery cell from light to the light-receiving surface of 
the module.
Do not expose the surface of the module to amplified sunlight that is artificially centralized.
When installing systems, please observe all local, regional and national laws and statutory regulations. When install-
ing them on a vehicle or vessel, please observe relevant local and national laws and regulations.
