To ensure your solar panel absorbs as much light as possible, it’s important to adjust the solar panel
angle to an ideal angle, depending on your region (refer to table below).
For Australia and all locations in the southern hemisphere, the solar panel must be tilted directly north.
Locations in the northern hemisphere must have the panel tilted directly south. The angle of tilt is
determined by the installation location and is calculated as
installation la 15°
.
IMPORTANT: Failure to direct the panel correctly will cause system failure through insufficient power

1.
Use a flat head screwdriver
to
remove the bracket cover.
2. Once the cover is removed,
use a 10mm allen key to loosen the pane
l adjustment screw and tilt the
panel to the required angle with the LED light at the high side
.
3.
Tighten the bolt after adjusting the angle to secure the solar panel in place.
4. Replace the cover.

For example, Sydney has a latitude of 34°, therefore the solar panel should be tilted directly north with
an angle of 34 + 15 =
49°
.
If you are uncertain the of your area, Google makes it easy to find the latitude for any location: For
example, searching for “latitude Newcastle NSW Australia” will return 32.9283° S, 151.7817° E. The
latitude is the first number shown (32.9283) which rounds up to 33°.
