Installation Guide Installation Figure 3-2 Connect the Ethernet cable to a solar panel Solar Panel Solar panels convert light energy from sunlight into electrical energy. The EST350G requires a solar power panel with an output specification of 12V/1.2A DC. Notes for Installing the Solar Panel Because the sun’s position differs between the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, the solar panel should face south in the Northern Hemisphere and north in the Southern Hemisphere to achieve optimal power output.
