2. Warnings
2-1 General Warnings
Install or use GSP solar panels for their intended purpose only.
Solar Panel interconnects generate Direct Current (DC) and are sources of power when they are
exposed to sunlight.
Physical Contact with the electrically active output terminals can result in burns, sparks, and electric
shock whether the panel is connected or disconnected.
DC power can arc across gaps and may cause injury or death if improper connection or
disconnection is made, or if contact is made with panel components that are damaged. Do not
connect or disconnect panels when the panels are exposed to sunlight or an external power source is
present.
Although GSP solar panels are durable, light in weight and semi flexible, we do not recommend
putting the solar panel in a high traffic area where walking on them will be consistent.

Summary of Contents for Ganz GSP-06
- Page 1 This Manual contains installation and safety information you need to be familiar with. 1-2 Disclaimer of Liability This Manual does not constitute a warranty, expressed or implied. GANZ ECO-ENERGY does not assume responsibility and expressly disclaims liability for loss, damage, or expense arising out of or in any way connected with installation, operation, use or maintenance of solar panels.
- Page 2 To avoid electric shock, fire, and injury, do not touch terminals while a panel is exposed to. Provide suitable guards to prevent direct contact with the solar panel output terminals. (Such as insulated tools and gloves). To avoid electric shock, fire, and injury, Avoid dropping or allowing objects to fall on panels. ...
- Page 3 3-3 General Maintenance Precautions Ganz Eco-Energy Semi-Flexible Panels are designed for long life and require very little maintenance. If the angle of the panel is 5 degrees or more, normal rainfall is usually sufficient to keep the panel surface clean.
- Page 4 4-2 Panel Tilt Angle Ganz Eco-Energy panels produce the most power when they are pointed directly at the sun. For installations where the solar panels are mounted to a permanent structure, the solar panels should be tilted for optimum winter performance. A tilted solar panel will allow for about 50% more daily power output than panels mounted horizontally.
- Page 5 Hardware used must be compatible with the mounting structure material to avoid galvanic corrosion. NOTE: Other Mounting Options (sold separately) 4-5 Charging Batteries When using the solar panel to charge 12V batteries (pairs of 6V batteries in series) please read the instruction manual of the battery manufacturer.
- Page 6 Panels utilizing charge controllers do not require blocking diodes. The recommended charge controller for a single GSP-30, 40 & 55W solar panel is The GANZ 4.5A charge controller (GCC-4.5A Kit). Wiring Instructions: GSP Panels to GANZ 4.5A charge controller (GCC-4.5A Kit) to Battery.
- Page 7 It is recommended (and a better design) to use a dedicated GANZ 4.5A charge controller (GCC-4.5A Kit) to each solar panel in a multiple parallel configuration. This allows each solar panel to charge independently and not have any effect on the other panels, even if one or more panels are shaded.
- Page 8 Connecting GSP Solar Panels - Series: With series wiring, where the terminals are connected positive to negative, the voltage is added together, while the amperage remains the same. For example, two 12-volt, 3- amp solar panels wired in series would create a 24-volt, 3-amp system. ...
- Page 9 terminal of the blocking diode to the central pin of the cigarette lighter adapter. Use black wire to connect the negative terminal of the solar panel directly to the barrel of the cigarette lighter adapter. Plug in the cigarette lighter adapter. It will convert sunlight to electricity and charge the battery whenever it receives electricity 5.
