installation using the EverGen Setup App. Otherwise, the light will

not turn on and an additional site visit will be required.

To complete activation:

1. Download the EverGen Setup App from the iOS App Store or Google

Play store and ensure you have a compatible mobile device.

2. Contact Sol for a username and password.

3. Go to the location of the EverGen lighting system and use the setup

app to activate.

If you do not have wireless internet access onsite, use the app

to scan the product order number while within wireless internet

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

by carmanah

Warnings and Precautions

The following symbols indicate important safety

warnings and precautions throughout this manual.

They are de ned as follows:

NOTE suggests optimal conditions

under which the equipment will

operate effectively and safely, or

provides additional information to

the reader.

CAUTION

CAUTION indicates that damage

to equipment may result if the

instructions are not followed.

WARNING indicates that serious

bodily harm or death may result

from failure to adhere to the

precautions.

Warranty Disclaimer

This manual will familiarize you with the features,

operation standards, and installation of Sol's EverGen

M Series. Failure to comply with the use, storage,

maintenance, installation or placement instructions

detailed in this manual could void the warranty.

Standards

Perform all installation, wiring, and maintenance in

conformance with local building and electrical codes.

Adherence to the National Electrical Code (NEC)

is mandatory. Non-adherence to code may void the

warranty.

Safety and Usage Precautions

WARNING

Batteries are shipped fully charged.

Use extreme caution when handling

the batteries as they are capable

of generating hazardous short-

circuit currents. Remove all jewelry

(bracelets, metal-strap watches,

etc.) before attempting to handle the

batteries.

Solar modules produce DC

electricity when exposed to light

and can, therefore, produce an

electrical shock or burn. To render

solar modules inoperative, remove

them from sunlight, or fully cover

their front surface with an opaque

material.

Before lifting any heavy or bulky

equipment, ensure the load is

secured so moving parts do not

shift, and that it can be lifted as far

as needed without back strain or

loss of grip. Installation may require

more than one person.

Until the system is ready for startup,

keep the battery fuse out of the fuse

holder. Ensure the equipment is

not powered during installation and

wiring of the system.

Recheck all completed wiring for

proper polarity prior to energizing

the system.

NOTEChanges or modi cations to Sol

equipment not expressly approved

by Sol could void the user's

authority to operate the equipment.
