Connecting the PV panels
When the battery connection and setup has been completed, it is time connect the PV panels to the
solar charger (see chapter 2.3 for details). Provided that the PV panel array can supply and maintain
a voltage that is at least 2V higher than the battery voltage, the solar charger will start the starting
process. This process can be monitored by the PV array LED indicator (left side LED) which will now
also be lit.
Please see the table below for various states of the PV array indicator LED:
