4. Konfigurazioa eta instalazioa

Proper installation is crucial for the safety and performance of your solar panel. It is recommended to consult with a qualified electrician or solar installer for complex setups.

4.1 Muntaketa kontuan hartu beharrekoak

• Lekua: Choose a location that receives maximum direct sunlight throughout the day and minimizes shading from trees, buildings, or other obstructions.
• Mounting Structure: Use appropriate mounting hardware (not included) designed for solar panels and suitable for your specific application (e.g., RV roof, home roof, boat deck). Ensure the structure is strong enough to support the panel's weight and withstand wind loads.
• Orientazioa eta inklinazioa: Orient the panel to face true south (in the Northern Hemisphere) or true north (in the Southern Hemisphere) and tilt it at an angle optimized for your latitude and seasonal sun path to maximize energy harvest.

4.2 Konexio elektrikoak

• Connect the solar panel to a compatible charge controller, which regulates the voltage and current from the solar panel to charge your battery bank safely.
• Ensure correct polarity when making connections (positive to positive, negative to negative). Incorrect wiring can damage the panel, charge controller, or batteries.
• Use appropriate gauge wiring for your system to minimize power loss and ensure safety.
• All connections should be tight and weatherproof, especially for outdoor installations.
