SOLAR PANEL
(OPTIONAL)
Determine Solar Panel Placement
The solar panel should be placed where it
gets the maximum amount of sunlight per
day.
In most cases, this can be achieved by
mounting the unit directly to the glass with
double sided tape.
Brackets are provided if attaching to the
glass is not possible.
The brackets may be mounted several
different ways depending on the application
(window depth, window width, etc.).
The unit requires 19" minimum window
width to mount horizontally.
Inside Mount
Bracket can be mounted behind or next to
shade mounting bracket.
Inside Mount Extended
Bottom portion of the bracket may be
lowered if needed for more sun exposure.
Bracket can be mounted behind or next to
shade mounting bracket.
Note: only two of the holes are threaded.
Inside Mount with Top Reversed
The top portion of the bracket may be
reversed if necessary depending on space.
Bracket can be mounted behind or next to
shade mounting bracket.
Outside Mount
This method will provide the least amount
of sun exposure. Bracket can be mounted
next to shade mounting bracket.

Tape Method
Cut the tape to fit inside the white border
as shown. Clean the ends of the solar panel
where the tape will go with rubbing alcohol.
When dry, remove the release liner from one
side of the double sided tape and adhere
them to face of the panel.
Make sure to put the tape on the face (black
side) of the panel.
Clean the window surface with rubbing
alcohol. When dry, remove the release
liners and attach the solar panel to the glass,
pressing firmly to adhere.
Note: It is important to clean both surfaces
with alcohol as debris or oils will compromise
the bond.
Double sided tape can be removed from the
window surface by using a flat razor knife.
Adhesive residue can be removed by using a
liquid adhesive remover.
Bracket Method
If using brackets, set the bottom groove of
the unit onto the bottom bracket hook.
Then press the top of the unit until it snaps
into place.
If space is limited it may be easier to attach
the brackets to the solar unit before screwing
the brackets in place.
