SD-P10010A-KIT (100-Watt Kit)

SD-P15010A-KIT (150-Watt Kit)

The easiest kit you’ve ever installed!

Our solar kits are the most complete and easiest to install. We’ve taken the hassle out of needing a garage full of tools to do a solar installation. No wire cutting or splicing. All wires have been color coded and pre-wired to ensure a flawless installation.

Mounting feet, solar panel, solar charge controller, wires, and fuses. All included for a complete solar kit you can install to a battery quick, and easy.

Our 100 and 150-watt solar kits are designed to charge deep cycle batteries. Use these kits to maintain batteries for long periods of time, keeping batteries at 100%. Or, use them to re-charge batteries from daily use, small and medium usage.

Safety Precautions

 Use proper protective gear – Glasses, Gloves, etc. to reduce the risk of electric shock.

 Do not wear metallic jewelry while working with any electrical circuits.

 Hold solar panels with two hands while transporting. Do not hold by the junction box or wires.

 Keep the solar panel covered until after you’ve mounted and made all electrical connections.

 Be careful not to touch any live positive wire with a live negative wire.

Step 1 – Plan your Installation

Make sure you have allowed adequate room for the components of the kit. There is a total of 30 feet of wire. 15 feet of wire for the solar panel to controller and 15 feet for the solar controller to the battery. The charge controller is surfaced mounted only. The solar panels can be mounting on several surfaces. If you plan to mount this kit on an RV be sure to get the proper screws to affix the solar panel to the surface – wood, rubber, tin, fiberglass – etc. For Off Grid applications face the solar panels toward the sun during mid-day for optimal performance. Moving them from season to season may be required. Position the solar panel to avoid potential shade for maximum production.

Step 2 – Route the Wire

Now that you’ve planned the path the wire will take from the roof to the batteries. Drill any holes needed and route the wires. It’s likely that the small ring terminals on the wires will have to be fed through the hole as the other ends are larger than 3/8”. Use the self-leveling sealant to seal the roof hole. Do not connect any wires to the battery or solar panel.

Step 3 – Mount & Wire Solar Charge Controller

Cut/drill any holes necessary for running the wires. The solar charge controller is clearly marked with Solar +/- and

Battery +/- connections. Using a Philips screw driver connect the positive of the solar panel and the battery first, then the negative wire. Make sure all charge controller connections are very tight. Fasten the solar charge controller to the surface.

Step 4 – Mount & Connect the Solar Panel

Fasten the mounting feet to the solar panel with the provided hardware and 11 mm wrench (may require two wrenches). Thread the lock washer on the bolt and feed it through the holes of the mounting foot and the solar panel. Thread the flat washer and hex nut and tighten. Follow the figure to the right.

Mount the solar panel in place with the proper screws for the surface. Use the self-leveling sealant between the surface and the mounting feet for added protection. Then seal overtop of the screws when fully installed.

Connect the solar panel wires. First the positive, then the negative. At this point if the solar panels are in strong light the charge controller will turn on and show a battery not connected code.

Step 5 – Connect the Battery Wires

Connect the positive wire, supplied with a fuse, to the positive battery terminal. Do the same with the negative wire. Be sure to make very tight battery connections. In multiple battery applications please connect the solar wires as shown in the diagram to the right.

At this point your solar system is fully connected. Please refer to your charge controller manual to learn how to set the controller for your battery type and different functions and screen readings.
