Before Installation - What do you need to know!
3. DEFINE THE BEST LOCATION TO INSTALL
The solar panel is designed for indoor use only. To maximize the performance of the solar panel, it should be installed as close as possible to
the window glass, allowing as much natural light as possible to reach the panel.
Important
Any element between the Sun light and the solar panel will impact the charging time, and in some situations, prohibit the use of a solar panel.
Overcast weather is an example of possible obstruction that impossible to predict or control, but there are other elements that we should
consider before installing a solar panel, like:
• Awnings
• Trees
• Deep Eaves
• Tall buildings and walls
• Insect Screen
• Others
Other elements are not so obvious but can make it difficult to use a solar panel. The solar panel will have a low performance when installed on
locations with:
• Tinted windows
• High performance glass (also known as energy efficiency glass)
• Multi panel glass
• Any window with treatment that reduces the light transmission below 65%
• Window dividers overlapping solar panel
