The solar system can be extended by further solar panels of the same power. The solar charge controller (acces-
sories) is connected between the solar panels and the battery to ensure the correct charging current of the batteries
and to protect the batteries against over voltage and deep discharge.
9 Installing the solar panel
WARNING! Electrocution hazard
Completely cover all solar panels with an opaque material during installation to prevent electricity from
being generated.
NOTICE! Damage hazard
Ensure that the junction box (accessories) and the roof duct (accessories) are properly sealed and that the
roof duct is glued tightly to the roof so that no moisture can leak into the junction box or through the roof.
Installation location
When selecting the installation location, consider the following:
• The mounting surface must be even and stable enough to support the solar panel.
• Ensure that the mounting surface is made of materials that withstand the high temperatures caused by the solar
panel.
• Ensure that the designated mounting surface is sufficiently dimensioned.
• Ensure there is enough room to access the solar panels and other fixed components for future maintenance.
• Ensure that any existing ventilation openings on the vehicle and the rear ventilation of the solar panel are not
blocked.
• Shading can reduce the performance of the solar system. Ensure that fixed components, such as air condition-
ers or opened satellite antennas, do not shade the solar panels.
• Choose a location with direct sunlight for optimal performance.
• Place several solar panels as close to each other as possible.
• Do not glue the side roof mounting supports or roof ducts to rubberized surfaces (e.g. exterior planking), as
the adhesion of the glue is not guaranteed.
Preparing the installation
1. Mark the bonding surfaces.
Fig.  on page 1
2. Grind the bonding surfaces with abrasive fleece (1, Fig. ).
3. Clean the bonding surfaces (2, Fig. ).

Mounting the solar panel
WARNING! Risk of injury
Use a suitable adhesive, e.g. Sikaflex
