Nastavení a instalace

The Renogy 100W Solar Starter Kit is designed for straightforward installation. Follow these general steps for setting up your system:

1. Montáž solárního panelu: Use the included Z-brackets to securely mount the 100W solar panel in a location that receives maximum direct sunlight. Ensure proper ventilation around the panel.
2. Připojení k regulátoru nabíjení: Connect the solar panel's output cables to the 'PV' (Photovoltaic) input terminals on the Wanderer 30A PWM Charge Controller. Ensure correct polarity (positive to positive, negative to negative).
3. Připojení k baterii: Connect the charge controller's 'Battery' output terminals to your 12V battery. The controller is compatible with AGM, Gel, Flooded, and Lithium batteries. Connect the battery first to the controller before connecting the solar panel.
4. Připojení k zátěži (volitelné): If using a DC load directly from the controller, connect it to the 'Load' terminals. For AC appliances, an inverter (not included) will be required, connected directly to the battery.
