is gets the maximum amount of sunlight
per day.
In most cases this can be achieved by

provided if att aching to the glass is not
possible. The brackets may be mounted
several diff erent ways depending on
the applicati on (window depth, window
width, etc.).
The unit requires 19” minimum window
width to mount horizontally.
