Where to Place the Solar Panel
for Optimal Exposure to the Sun
The Solar Panel should be placed in an area that allows for the maximum amount of sunlight exposure per day.
• Solar Panel is best when placed on the southern-
facing portion, or the highest point, of a structure.
Solar Panels
face South
30-foot Extension Cord is Available
The Solar Panel has a 15-foot cord for attachment to the Light Fixture. A 30-foot extension
cable is available; contact Home Depot Customer service for information. You can use
up to 2 extension cables, giving you an additional 60 feet distance between the Solar Panel
and the Light.
Once installed, the Solar Panel should be angled towards the southern sky, so that the face of the panel is exposed to
as much sunlight as possible during the day. (Generally, an upward angle of 45º should be sufficient for exposure.)
The Motion Sensor can be adjusted in
a side-to-side arch of about 160º, and
can be angled 90º downward.
• The panel should not be placed where shade or
shadow is cast upon it by trees, buildings, telephone
poles, or other obstructions.
Poor position for
Solar Panel
Tree blocks sunlight from Solar Panel.
No obstruction - Solar Panel receives full sunlight.
Helpful Tip:
At high noon, adjust the
Solar Panel so that it faces
the sun. During any time of
year, this adjustment will provide
optimal positioning for collecting
solar energy.
You can also angle the panel up by 45º,
which should provide for adequate exposure.
Your Motion Security Light has 3 basic settings, TIME, LUX and SENS.
TIME adjusts the amount of time the light will stay ON
when triggered by motion.
It can be adjusted from 1 to 5 minutes.
SENS adjusts how "sensitive" the
PIR is to motion.
LUX adjusts the level of light
that has to be reached before
the light will activate when
motion is detected.
The following settings will
activate the light:
