Un-Assembled Base:
1.
Locate a hard level surface to install the base, ensure that it is
free from objects that will shade the solar panel, such as trees
or buildings.
2. Install the reinforcing cage inside the base. Install a washer and
nut on each threaded rod on the top side of the base, to secure
the cage.
(Fig. 2.2a)
4. Mix approx 480kg of concrete, and pour into base. Ensure
the concrete that is exposed is level with the top of the base,
otherwise the base will not sit level on the ground.
(Fig. 2.2c)
5. Allow a minimum of 7 days for the concrete to cure, this can
take longer depending on weather conditions.
6. Once the concrete has cured, use suitable lifting equipment to
turn the base over
3. Place the base open side up, on top of a solid object such as
concrete besser blocks.
