Installing the Solar Panel
The Solar Panel is
designed to be mounted on
a rigid pole, either on the
roof top or adjacent to it.
The pole should be fixed
with brackets to a roof
support (as shown below).
If roof mounting is not
possible, the pole can also
be fixed to an outer wall of
the building, as long as the
panel can face the Equator
and is not overshadowed at
all. In either case, an alu-
minium or galvanized steel
pipe of 26 mm
diameter is ideal, but a PVC
pipe is also acceptable.
It is very important that the
Solar Panel points towards
the Equator. If necessary,
adjust the tilt angle at the
rear of the panel using the
Allen key supplied so that
the sun’s rays fall directly
onto the surface of the
panel at 12.00hrs (midday).
This will ensure the best
possible electricity
generation and ongoing
performance.
