- Page 10 SOL AR PA N EL WI RI N G DO NOT connect the cable run to the solar panels until all solar wiring is complete. Run the solar cables to the 32A circuit breakers, and cut it to length. Run the 6mm solar cables from the solar panels back to the 32A circuit breakers, and cut it to length. DO NOT connect the cable run to the solar panels yet, as the cables will become live.
- Page 11 Ensure the solar cable run is NOT connected to the solar panels, and the circuit breakers are switched off (showing green, switch down). Indicator is green, showing the circuit breakers are switched off. Use wire strippers to strip the ends of the solar cable, and terminate them in the circuit breaker by inserting the stripped end and tightening the screw clockwise.
- Page 12 Now connect the cable run to the solar panels. Ensure the circuit breaker stays switched off. When the cables have been terminated in the circuit breaker, and the circuit breaker is switched off, you can now connect the solar panels to the cable run. The circuit breaker must be switched off when connecting or disconnecting the solar panels from the cable run.

BATTERY CAR E IN FO RMATIO N What is Battery Cycle Life and Depth of Discharge? Depth of Discharge is how much energy is discharged from the battery before it is charged to 100% again. A common measurement is battery cycle life, at 50% D.O.D (Depth of Discharge). At 50% DOD the battery has 50% of its energy capacity discharged, before it begins charging again. -
Page 24: Troubleshooting Guide
TRO UB L ESH O OTI N G G U I D E We’ve compiled this list of common problems our customers may encounter with their solar gear to help you solve any issues as fast as possible. If you don’t find the answers you need here, or your issue continues after implementing the given solution, please get in touch. - Page 25 5. My batteries drain very fast when the sun goes down The controller may read 100% while charging at the higher voltage, but then it will quickly drop down lower when there is no charge applied. This could be because the batteries charge at a higher voltage, so when the sun goes down the battery voltage will stabilize at a lower level.
