    INSTALLATION & CONNECTION STEP 1 Locate the panel in the best position Locate the panel in a position where it is exposed to the sun for the majority of the day. For best results use a northern orientation. The panel will function in the horizontal or hung position, however for best performance tilt the panels so they directly face the sun.

    If we say we get around 10 hours of solar energy from the panels per day (for summer months). We can then calculate what size and how many panels we need. 45 Amps ÷ 10 hours = 4.5 Amps per hour So the SPP160K solar panel kit produce 10.2 Amps an hour, this should be more than enough.
