Installation
Mount Solar Panel - Attach the solar panel onto a pole with the included bracket. If you are in the northern hemisphere. ensure that the solar panel is facing south and has an angle of 50 degrees.
Mount Battery - Attach the battery onto a pole using stainless steel straps through L brackets on backside of battery. Confirm solar panel cables reach battery. Wires on battery should face down.
Connect Verdi Gateway - Connect the power output cable of the battery to the Verdi Gateway. This step turns on the charge controller. Orange light on the battery should turn on.
Connect Solar Panel - Ensure Power Output Cable is connected and charge controller is on before connecting solar panel. MC4 solar panel connectors are keyed to the proper positive (+) and negative (-) connection. Connect each until it clicks. Green light on the charge controller will blink to indicate that it is charging when solar panels are outside in the sun.
Secure Wires with Zip Ties - Cables should be secured so that they do not move in the wind. Bundle wires together neatly and zip tie to the bracket.
LED Indicators - Charge controller lights are visible through the front of the battery. They provide information about whether the system is receiving power from solar panels, providing power to a device, and other systems faults. Reminder, a cable or cap needs to be connected to the power output cable to turn the system on.
