c. * Place each of the SCCs in a place exposed to sun light, up to the maximum height from the sensor as per sensors’ cables length. Best energy results are obtained when unit is pointed to area where maximal exposure to sunlight travel is obtained, (e.g. to the south at northern hemisphere countries).
