GENERAL
Please carefully read the following operation and safety instructions. Non-compliance
with these instructions may void the product warranty.
This guide contains information regarding the operation and safe handling
FLEXSOLAR® solar panels and components. All operations must be read and
understood before attempting operation. If there are any questions, please contact
your dealer or FLEXSOLAR® customer support for further information.
The user should conform to all safety precautions in the guide when using solar
panels. Before using a solar photovoltaic system (including cable, power station

3
or other electric equipment), the user should be familiar with the mechanical and
electrical requirements for photovoltaic systems. Keep this guide in a safe place for
future reference.
• All solar panels come with permanently attached output ports. Your dealer can
provide additional extension cables to simplify module wiring.
• Exercise caution when wiring or handling solar panels exposed to sunlight.
• Photovoltaic solar panels convert light energy to direct-current electrical
energy and are designed for outdoor use.
• Solar panels may be hung, placed flat, or use provided kickstand to face
towards the sun.
• Do not frequently connect or disconnect wires attached to solar panels when
they are exposed to sunlight in order to extend panel service life.
• Do not attempt to disassemble the solar panel, and do not remove any
attached nameplates or components. Doing so will void the warranty.
• Do not apply paint or adhesive to the solar panel.
• Do not use mirrors or other hardware to artificially concentrate sunlight on the
solar panel.
Safety Precautions for Using a Foldable Solar Panel
• Solar panels produce electrical energy when exposed to sunlight.
• FLEXSOLAR® solar panels can be connected in series. When connected together
(either in series or parallel), make sure that each solar panel has the same
rated voltage. Your dealer can provide additional cables to simplify panel
connections.
• Observe the instructions and safety precautions for all other components used
in the system, including wiring, cables, connectors, and etc.
• Use only equipment, connectors, wiring, and mounting hardware suitable for
use in a photovoltaic system.
• Always use the same type of solar panel in a particular photovoltaic system.
• Under normal operating conditions, solar panels will produce currents and
voltages that may vary from those listed in the data sheet. Data sheet values
are applicable at standard test conditions only.
General Operation Notes
• Do not stand or step on the solar panel.
• Do not drop the solar panel or allow objects to fall on the solar panel.
• Do not place any heavy objects on the solar panel.

20A Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) Controller
• Built-in industrial micro controller.
• Big lcd display, all adjustable parameter
• Full 3-stage PWM charge management.
• Built-in short-circuit protection, open-circuit protection, reverse protection,
over-load protection.
• Dual MOSFET reverse current protection, low heat production.
Safety Instructions
1. Make sure your battery has enough voltage for the PWM to recognize the battery
type before first installation.
2. The battery cable should be as short as possible to minimize loss.
3. The PMW is suitable for lead acid batteries (Flood, AGM, GEL) and lithium ions,
(please make sure the PWM is set for the right type of battery before usage). It is not
suited for nickel metal hydride, or other types of batteries.
4. The PWM is only suitable for regulating solar modules. Never connect any other
charging source to the PWM.
5. It is normal for the PWM to be hot when the PWM is at work. Please install the PWM
on a flat and well-ventilated place.
