Safety
1. Avoid electrical hazards when installing, wiring, operating, and maintaining this
solar panel. This solar panel generates DC electricity when exposed to sunlight or
other light sources.
2. For use in 12 V systems only.
3. Observe proper polarity throughout entire power cable wiring route (see page 8).
4. Work Safely. Do not wear jewellery when working with electrical or mechanical
equipment. Use protective eyewear when working with batteries or drills. Use
extreme caution when on ladders or on a roof.
5. Follow all safety precautions of the battery manufacturer (battery not included).
Some batteries can release flammable hydrogen gas. Do not produce sparks when
working in locations where flammable gases or vapours exist. Shield skin and eyes
from battery acid. Wash thoroughly with water if skin or clothing come in contact
with acid or any corrosive matter which may have accumulated on the battery.
Keep the terminals and casing clean.
6. Use of a charge controller (not included) is always recommended.
7. Do not attempt to charge non-rechargeable or frozen batteries.
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
WARNING:
Solar panels produce electricity. Be aware at all times of the risk of electrical
shock. Do not make any cuts or changes to the included wiring as this may
increase the risk of electrical short-circuits or electric shocks.

Installation (Continued)
Ensure your solar panel is placed so that its exposure to the sun is optimized. Be aware
of objects such as trees or property overhangs that may impede the panel’s ability to
generate a charge.
Do not install the wire behind
the solar panel: this could lead
to overheating and possible
degredation from the panel
generating heat throughout
the day.
Use the included grommets to tie the
panel onto a chosen surface (A) or use the
included four suction cups to ax the panel
to a smooth surface such as glass (B). It is not
advisable to use this method on a vehicle in
motion or under high winds.
Silicone caulking (not included) can be used
for more permanent installations.

Installation (Continued)
12 V
not included
Using the included connections, connect
the green LED voltage tester to the panel in
full sun. If the light illuminates, your panel
is ready to begin charging.
The following two methods are for limited time connections directly to a battery. Once
your battery is charged, the panel must be disconnected from the battery.
Temporary Direct Battery Charging (Without a Charge Controller):
For permanent installation, or if the solar panel is used without supervision, please install
a solar charge controller.
Connect the included 12 V plug to your
vehicle or powerpack.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning of the solar panel may be performed with a clean, damp cloth. Any other
maintenance to the unit should be performed by a qualified service professional or
contact our experienced customer service team for further instruction.
Connect the included battery clamps to a
battery while ensuring correct polarity
(Red +, Black -).

Troubleshooting
Questions Answers
Why is the LED light on the voltage
tester not illuminating?
Ensure the panel is in full sun and the
connection is secure.
What can be done if the wires are too
short?
Contact the manufacturer for a list of
additional parts to purchase.
How do I know if the panel is producing
voltage?
Use the included LED voltage tester
or use a multimeter (not included) to
accurately read the panel’s voltage.
Under full sun the multimeter should
read 18-22 V DC.
Does the solar panel drain the battery at
night?
The solar panel has integrated blocking
diodes to prevent any reverse charge at
night.
Can my panel be left outdoors without
a protective covering?
Yes, the solar panel has been
weatherproofed and can be mounted
outdoors without any additional
protection.
Can the solar panel overcharge my
battery?
Yes, there is a risk of overcharging your
battery. To fully protect your battery, a
solar charge controller (not included)
is required. If you do not have a solar
charge controller, it is advisable to only
charge for limited periods of time.
Can I run my 110 V appliances with my
solar power system?
Yes, you can run 110 V appliances with
the use of an inverter (not included)
which would attach to your battery to
change the battery’s 12 V (DC) energy
into 110 V (AC).
What kind of battery can I use? See “Choosing Your Battery” on
page 10.

This Noma®product carries a five (5) year limited warranty against defects in
workmanship and materials. At its discretion, Noma Canada agrees to have any
defective part(s) repaired or replaced free of charge within the stated warranty
period, when returned with proof of purchase. This product is not guaranteed
against wear or breakage due to misuse and/or abuse.
Choosing Your Battery
Choosing your battery involves some careful consideration. You can consult with a
local battery supplier or follow these simple guidelines.
• Choose only rechargeable 12 V batteries.
• SLA (Sealed Lead Acid), GEL, and AGM are all ideal choices. We do not advise
using lithium-ion batteries with these solar panels.
• ‘Deep Cycle’ or Marine batteries are optimum for solar-charging systems. They
allow discharge and recharge characteristics beyond a standard vehicle battery.
• Batteries are rated in amp-hours — this denes a battery’s ability to hold and
release its charge. The higher the amp-hour rating, the more power available.
