7.4 Attaching the Solar Cell
First the mounting plate must be screwed to the bracket of the solar cell with the 3 carriage
bolts and wing nuts.
It is important to note that the plate has a
preferred direction when attached to the
tree (or another object with a rounded
surface, here using the example of a
mast).
Just like the TMSO.CU, the solar cell can either be screwed to a tree or attached to a mast
with a tensioning strap. When screwing, 2 holes in opposite corners of the base plate should
be used. For screwing, the solar cell can simply be folded into the horizontal position.
