G SERIES USER MANUAL

3.0 SOLAR PANEL AND CABINET INSTALLATION

METAL CAP INSTALLATION (Alternate Option):

6. Install the metal cap, grommet, and hardware onto the bracket as shown.

7. Lower solar panel and top of pole bracket down onto pole. For metal caps, route solar cables up through

grommet in cap. Make sure panel mount sits securely on top of pole cap as shown below (solar panel not
shown to allow visibility of pole top). When setting top of pole mount on pole, ensure two tabs are resting
on lip of pole cap. Also, look underneath solar panel to ensure wiring is not pinched.
