Installing the Solar Panel
Unpack the Kit
Unpack the Battery Box and the Solar Panel and inspect them for any
damage in transit.
Mount the Solar Panel
a. Determine a mounting point for the solar panel as close as possible
to the intended opener. The length of cable from solar panel to solar
charger must not exceed 5m.
b. The solar panel should be faced to the North for maximum effect. Solar
panel output is directly proportional to the amount of sunlight to which
it is exposed. Thus, the panel should be positioned to the north due
to Australia’s southern location.
c. The angle to tilt the solar panel for maximum exposure to the sun is
determined by the following equation:
α
° = L° + 15°
Where “
α
°” is panel’s tilt angle from the horizontal, and “L°” is
the latitude of the mounting location. Refer to table, for a list of
pre-calculated panel angles for major centres in Australia.
