Product description
The solar panel has monocrystalline cells which generate
electricity when exposed to light.
Installation
Note:
As soon as the solar panel is exposed to light or sunlight,
the MC4 cables will be live. This is especially important to
remember when you are connecting several solar panels
together. To avoid short circuits when assembling and
connecting solar panels, turn them away from the light or
cover them so that they are not producing electricity during
the actual connection procedure. Remove the covering when all
the connections have been made.
• Always mount the panel on a straight, flat surface; do not
bend or twist the panel.
• Never attempt to divide or disassemble the panel.
• Avoid drilling or welding the frame wherever possible.
Drill or adapt the fastenings instead.
• Do not use any sharp metal tools or anything else that
could scratch the surface of the panel.
• Install the panel horizontally or vertically with the connection
box at the top. The solar panel should be facing south and
at an angle of 30−40˚ (summer), 0−20˚ (winter). Bear in mind
that if the solar panel is in the shade, its power output will
drop considerably. Choose a location for the panel with as
little shade as possible. Use stainless steel fasteners to attach
the panel. For easy installation, use the Clas Ohlson solar
panel frame (sold separately).

Connection
The solar panel should be connected to a battery system via
a regulator or to a power bank. See the Clas Ohlson product range.
The solar panels can be connected either in series
or parallel
Example of connections to create a 12 or 24 V system
To connect 2 solar panels in a 12 V system: Connect them
in parallel by connecting the positive to the positive and
the negative to the negative terminals.
To connect 2 solar panels in a 24 V system: Connect them
in series by connecting the positive terminal of one panel to
the negative terminal of the next panel.
