Installation

Location

1.  Locate the Solar Panels (12) where they will 

receive full, unobstructed sunlight, especially during 
midday.  Nearby trees or tall plants will drop debris, 
requiring the panels to be cleaned more frequently.

2.  The setup location for the Solar Panel Kit must 

be inaccessible to children to prevent electric 
shock.  Build a childproof enclosure if needed.

3.  Install the charge controller/regulator and batteries 

in a weatherproof enclosure with proper ventilation.

Mounting

1.  Select a mounting location for the Solar Panel 

Kit. The Solar Panels should face the Sun, and 
not be blocked by shadows. The location should 
allow the Panels to be protected from accidental 
damage. The location should be flat, stable and 
able to support the weight of the Solar Panel 
Kit’s accessories. Before assembly, be sure 
that all accessory cables reach their connection 
points without placing any stress on the wiring.
