WF Li-ion SOLAR PANEL

2. 2. 1. Glass Mounting

⚠

Caution! Glass must be prepared prior to mounting WF Li-ion SOLAR PANEL to glass with adhesive strips.

Important! The adhesive tape should never be touched

directly with fingers (or other contaminates) prior to

adhesion.
1) Clean solar panel bezel corners and window area

with alcohol prep pad. Let dry for two minutes.
2) On a table, with the solar panel facing up, apply the

2-sided adhesive to four corners of the solar panel

bezel.
Note: The tape is precut for your convenience in

between the top (front) and bottom (back) liners.

With your fingers, lift off each precut adhesive piece

so that it remains attached to the “facer” material and

the opposite side of the tape should then be released

from the back liner. See Photo in Figure 1 and Figure 2.
3) Remove the liner of the applied adhesive. Position

the bezel with 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.

2. 2. 2. Bracket Mounting

These instructions are for bracket mounting of the Solar Pack solar panel. Brackets should be used when direct-

to-glass mounting is not permissable, including the following conditions : to avoid collisions with moving windows

(ex. casement or double-hung) or to mount to headrails (2» Tilt) or

«roll-up cassettes».

Window Frame Mounting:

• A. For inside top of window frame mounting, place in the best

suitable position and mark the hole location. See Figure 2.
• B. Remove Solar Panel from brackets and affix brackets to window

frame with wood screws.
• C. Reinsert Solar Panel into proper position by snapping solar panel into brackets. Complete Solar Pack

Installation as instructed.
Skip remaining steps.

Head Rail or Roll-Up Cassette Mounting

A. If new installation, determine whether 2” drop or 4” drop brackets best fit the application. The brackets should be

oriented so that the solar panel will have direct access to daylight without blockage or shadows.
If this is an existing window covering installation, it is recommended to remove the window covering to best

determine the fit of the brackets to headrail. The brackets should be oriented so that the solar panel will be exposed

to Direct Sunlight without blockage or shadows.
B. Depending upon head rail or cassette design, choose the horizontal

or vertical hole orientation which provides best placement for

mounting screws. Mark exact hole locations. See Figure 3.
Note: Cassettes will likely require upper hole location with screws

driven in vertically. 2” venetian tilt or cord lift head rails will likely

require lower screw hole and horizontal screw placement.
C. Utilize self-tapping machine screws to mount brackets into position.
D. Reinsert solar panel into proper position by snapping solar panel Into brackets. Be certain not to damage window

covering while mounting brackets.
E. Mount Interior Window covering assembly into
