This kit IS NOT weatherproof

Never leave your Duralite Solar Kit unattended, plugged in overnight, or subject to inclement weather.

 

 

 

Use caution around power sources

Electricity can be very dangerous. Installation should be performed only by a licensed electrician or qualified personnel.

 

 

 

Battery and wiring safety

Observe all safety precautions of the battery manufacturer when handling or working around batteries. When charging, batteries produce hydrogen gas, which is highly explosive. Ensure batteries are in a well-ventilated space, away from sparks for open flames.

 

 

 

Wiring connections

Ensure all connections are tight and secure. Loose connections may generate sparks and heat. Be sure to check all connections before using the portable solar kit.

 

 

 

Observe correct polarity

Reverse polarity of the battery terminals and panel will cause the controller to give a warning tone. The controller will not function unless battery terminals are connected to a battery with proper polarity. Failure to correct this fault could damage the controller.

 

 

 

Work safely

Wear protective eyewear and appropriate clothing during installation. Use extreme caution when working with electricity and when handling and working around batteries.

 

 

 

Do not exceed the SOLAR CONTROLLER max current ratings

The maximum current of the solar system is the sum of parallel-connected PV module–rated short circuit Currents (Isc) multiplied by 1.25. The resulting system current is not to exceed 37.5A. If your solar system exceeds this value, contact your dealer for a suitable controller alternative.

 

 

Do not exceed max voltage ratings

The maximum voltage of the panel is the sum of the PV module–rated open-circuit voltage of the series connected modules multiplied by 1.25 (or by a value from NEC 690.7 provided in Table 690.7 A). The resulting voltage is not to exceed 35V. If your solar system exceeds this value, contact your dealer for a suitable controller alternative.
