Page 18 Roof-top mounting is not recommended due to significant temperature and wind effects from the structure and reflected heat. MS-100 stations may be powered by 10 W solar panels. This input capacity is sufficient where full sun exposure is available during the day. Installations that have high wireless demand and are shaded for part of the day may require a second solar panel.
