This manual contains important safety, installation and operating information with which you should be familiar before using Evergreen Solar ES-C Series panels.
• Avoid setting the panel down hard on any surface, particularly when placing it on a corner. • Do not disassemble, modify or adapt the panel or remove any part or labeling installed by Evergreen Solar. Doing so will void the warranty.

Figure 2. Junction Box Components • ES-C series panels are factory wired for 12V nominal operation and are not intended to be reconfigured for other voltages. • The electrical connection block has three (3) double screw terminals; positive (+), negative (-) and spare. It is recommended that the top screws of the terminals be reserved for the bypass diodes, and the output wiring be connected only to the bottom screws.
• Dirt build-up on the surface of the panel can cause active solar cells to be shaded and electrical performance to be impaired. • Contact Evergreen Solar for more information regarding minimum recommended tilt angles for specific panel products. • For roof mounted systems, provide adequate rear ventilation under a panel for cooling (100mm: 4 in. gap minimum).
Evergreen Solar assumes no responsibility for any infringement of patents or other rights of third parties that may result from use of the panel. No license is granted by implication or otherwise under any patent or patent rights.
