Position
The location of the panel(s) is critical to the success of the installation. In
general, the panel(s) should be mounted using the provided angle bracket
facing due south. The solar panel(s) should be mounted in an area clear of
all obstructions and shade from buildings and trees. If the panel(s) is not
casting a shadow, the battery is not being charged.
NOTE: Tall trees or buildings that do not shade the solar panel(s) in the
summer could shade the solar panel(s) during the winter months when the
sun sits lower in the sky.
Installation
Solar panel(s) MUST be installed facing south. Use a compass to determine direction. Below are general instructions for installing the solar panel(s). Your
installation may vary slightly depending on the solar panel purchased.
1. Position the mounting bracket on the mounting surface. Mark and drill holes.
2. Secure the solar panel to the mounting bracket using the hex bolts, hex nuts and washers provided.
3. Secure the solar panel to the mounting surface using lag screws provided.
