4.1 Unfolding the Solar Panel

1. Place the folded solar panel on a flat, stable surface.
2. Carefully unfold the panel sections until it is fully extended.
3. Position the panel to face the sun directly for optimal performance.

4.2 Connecting the MPPT Controller

The MPPT controller is typically integrated or connected via MC4 connectors. Ensure the controller is connected to the solar panel before connecting to a battery or power station.

4.3 Connecting to a Battery or Power Station

The solar panel system offers wide compatibility for various charging scenarios:

• For 12V/24V Batteries: Connect the MPPT controller's battery terminals to your 12V or 24V battery using the provided battery clamp cable. Ensure correct polarity (positive to positive, negative to negative).
