Before Installation - What do you need to know!
4. HOW EFFICIENT MY SOLAR PANEL WILL PERFORM?
There is no direct answer for this question. Beside all the elements already described that impact how much energy will be
harvested from the sun, there is also the question of how fast the energy will be drained by the shade itself due to:
• Shade composition (fabric weight)
• Number of cycles per day
• Size of shade (how long the motor will run per cycle)
The answer for these questions should be considered to evaluate if solar panel is the best fit for the application.

1. INSTALLATION USING PROVIDED INSTALLATION TAPE
The solar panel must always be install indoors, directly against the window glass to allow as much natural light as possible to reach the panel.
For your convenience, the solar panel can be installed using VHB™ installation tape (recommended method) or Metal “C” Installation Bracket
(alternative method).
First, clean solar panel corners and window area using alcohol and a cloth pad. Let dry for a few minutes. On a flat surface, place the solar
panel facing up and carefully apple the VHB™ installation tape on both sides of the solar panel.
Remove the “face” of the applied adhesive. Position the solar panel facing to outdoors, then press entire panel with firm, even pressure into
the glass for 10-15 seconds. The panel is now supported by the adhesive to glass bond but will require 24 hours of cure time to allow full
strength characteristics. Do not disturb during this period.
