8 Technical description
The solar panels are particularly flat and bonded directly to the vehicle roof. The solar panels can be applied to
slightly curved roof surfaces.
The solar system can be extended by further solar panels of the same power.
The solar charge controller (accessories) 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.
