Step 10: Attach Solar Panel Assembly to Tripod Leg
First, complete bracket assembly to solar panel as illustrated. Then using hose clamps, mount solar panel assembly to the tripod
leg. IMPORTANT – Solar panel MUST face the south sky (in northern hemisphere) and north sky (in southern hemisphere)
On upper left, see how bracket is attached
to solar panel using bolts, washer, lock
washer and nut on each end after lining up
holes. Leave space on the upper bolt to
allow the bracket to swivel.
Note that the size of the solar panel varies
depending on your location. Image on the
right indicates the station assembled with
a 20 watt (smaller) panel.
NOTE: the multi parameter sensor has a
‘North’ indicator on it. This should point
north in the northern hemisphere (south in
the southern hemisphere) while the solar
panel is opposite on both applications
