2.1 INTRODUCTION Siqinirsiutik is a ready-to-use solar energy system. Designed exclusively for off-grid use, Siqinirsiutik is an ideal solution to power the electricity needs of hunting or fishing camps, small cottages in Nunavik, telecommunications devices, and others. Siqinirsiutik stores the excess energy produced by solar panels to produce electricity during periods of low sunlight.

Page 22: Pillar Installation And Levelling
4.5.4 Pillar installation and levelling Slide the pillars into the base of brackets S1, S2, S3 and S4 (see image 21). Align the abutments with the line A you drew earlier. (Allow a distance of approx. 15 mm between the start of the base and the final position of the abutment). Once the pillars are in place, firmly tighten the bolts on the left-hand side of the brackets until the pillars are securely fastened.
