Teksan GO ON Solar Panel 200W User Manual

The Teksan GO ON Solar Panel 200W is a high-efficiency monocrystalline solar panel designed for off-grid and backup power applications. It features durable tempered glass, an IP67-rated junction box, and high conversion efficiency. Compatible with various 12V/24V battery systems and charge controllers, it is ideal for RVs, boats, cabins, and remote installations. Below are key sections for safety, features, installation, setup, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting.

Features at a Glance

Key components: Monocrystalline solar cells, Anodized aluminum frame, IP67 junction box with bypass diodes, MC4 connectors, Tempered glass surface.

Installation

Unpack and inspect contents for damage. Ensure all mounting hardware is present.

1. Choose Location: Select a site with maximum, unobstructed sunlight throughout the day.
2. Mounting: Use provided brackets or compatible mounting system. Secure panel to a stable, flat surface (roof, ground frame, pole).
3. Orientation: Angle panel towards the sun (typically south in Northern Hemisphere). Optimal tilt angle varies by season/location.
4. Wiring Preparation: Route cables from junction box to charge controller location, protecting them from physical damage.

WARNING! Do NOT install during inclement weather. Ensure mounting structure can support panel weight and wind/snow loads. Always disconnect system before handling electrical connections.

First-Time Setup

After mechanical installation, proceed with electrical connection.

1. Connect to Charge Controller: Connect panel's positive (+) cable to charge controller's PV INPUT positive terminal. Connect negative (-) cable to negative terminal.
2. Connect Battery: Connect charge controller's BATTERY terminals to your battery bank, observing correct polarity (positive to positive, negative to negative).
3. Connect Load (if applicable): Connect DC loads to the charge controller's LOAD terminals.
4. Power Sequence: Always connect battery to charge controller FIRST, then connect solar panel. Reverse order when disconnecting.

CAUTION! Incorrect polarity can permanently damage the charge controller and void warranty. Use proper gauge wires for current and distance.

Controls and Connections

The panel itself has no user controls. System control is managed by the connected charge controller and inverter.

Junction Box: Contains bypass diodes to minimize power loss from shading. Sealed; do not open.

Cables & Connectors: Pre-attached cables with MC4 connectors. Positive cable has male connector; negative has female connector. Use MC4 extension cables or branch connectors for system expansion.

Monitoring: Monitor system performance (voltage, current, power) through your charge controller's display or remote monitoring system.

Connecting to System

Panels can be connected in series, parallel, or series-parallel to match system voltage and current requirements.

1. Series Connection: Connect positive of one panel to negative of the next. Increases voltage, current stays the same.
2. Parallel Connection: Connect all positives together and all negatives together. Increases current, voltage stays the same.
3. Use Combiner Box: For multiple parallel strings, use a fused combiner box for safety.
4. Final Connection: Connect the final positive and negative leads to the charge controller's PV input terminals.

Tip: Always check the maximum input voltage of your charge controller before connecting panels in series. Do not exceed this rating.

Operation & Performance

Panel operates automatically when exposed to sunlight.

1. Optimal Output: Output is highest under direct, perpendicular sunlight on a clear day.
2. Shading Impact: Even partial shading on one cell can significantly reduce total panel output. Keep surface clean and free of obstructions.
3. Temperature Effect: Voltage decreases as panel temperature increases. Performance is typically rated at 25°C (77°F).
4. Seasonal Adjustment: Adjust tilt angle seasonally for best annual energy harvest.
5. No Moving Parts: The panel requires no routine operation once installed.

WARNING! The panel produces DC voltage whenever exposed to light, even if not connected to a load. Treat cables as live. Cover the panel with an opaque material before working on wiring.

Safety Features

Bypass Diodes: Integrated in junction box to allow current flow around shaded or faulty cells, preventing hot spots and fire risk.

Frame Grounding: Provides a grounding point (marked with earth symbol) for connecting to system ground for lightning and surge protection.

IP67 Protection: Junction box is dust-tight and protected against temporary immersion, ensuring reliable operation in harsh weather.

Care & Maintenance

Minimal maintenance required for long service life.

1. Cleaning: Clean glass surface periodically with water and a soft, non-abrasive cloth or sponge. Remove dirt, dust, bird droppings, and snow.
2. When to Clean: Early morning or evening when panel is cool. Do NOT use cold water on a hot panel.
3. Inspection: Periodically inspect for physical damage, loose connections, corrosion, or water ingress in junction box.
4. Wiring Check: Ensure all cable connections are tight and weatherproof seals are intact.

CAUTION! Do NOT use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or high-pressure water jets. Do NOT walk on the panel. Always disconnect the system before performing any maintenance.
