Installation

26.2.2. Internal solar panel

If the node has an internal solar panel, it should be placed in 45º angle to optimize the solar panel efficiency, using the solar

panel bracket.

Step 1: Secure the mounting feet to Waspmote Plug & Sense!

Use provided screws to firmly mount the feet to the node as shown in step 1 of previous section.

Step 2: Secure the solar panel bracket to Waspmote Plug & Sense!

Use dedicated holes of solar panel bracket to secure Waspmote. Remember that the sensor side must face to the ground.
