Connection
4.1
Tips
Use suitable connection cables – preferably UV-resistant cables with section 2.5-4 mm² –
depending on the length of the cables and the size of the panel. We recommend using the
Velleman SOL/SPC3 cables (not included).
Connect the negative pole of the panel to the negative pole of the charge controller (not
included). Similarly, connect the positive pole of the panel to the positive pole of the
charge controller.
4.2
General
Coat the wires and terminal posts with Vaseline
®
to protect them from corrosion.
Make sure the connection box is tightly closed to prevent moisture from entering.
If the solar module is to be mounted in a coastal area, it is extra important to protect the
installation from moisture to prevent saltwater corrosion.
4.3
Schemes
Single-Panel Connection
The solar module should be connected to a battery system via a charge controller.
