solar panel SOLAR 1010 (10W) / soalr panel 1020 (20W)
Place the solar panel to a recommended maximum distance of 10 m from the control box. Fasten the panel to the wall with the
supplied bracket. The solar panel should face SOUTH. Check that no obstacle creates shadow on the panel and that it is in full
light. Connect the panel to the circuit board being careful to respect the polarity of the wiring.
Warning: in case of intensive use or to ensure greater autonomy in low light conditions it may be advised to use solar panel
SOLAR1020 (20W) to be used by combining a minimum 12V 12A battery. The 12V battery 12A must be housed in an external
box
The table gives an estimation of autonomy in the worst light conditions (we calculated only 5 hours of daily light with a low brightness level).
This condition may correspond to the situation: winter with overcast / partly covered or veiled.
The table shows the maximum number of maneuvers, maintaining the same level of charge of the battery.
With summer weather and excellent exposure to light for more hours per day, the levels of autonomy increase exponentially.
With use of photocells and especially in the case of double pair of photocells SW7120 we recommend the use of a 20W panels combined with a 12A battery to ensure an
even better energy autonomy.
NOTE: the solar panel 1020 combined 12V 12A battery has a charging capacity of about 1A / hour ,exponentially increasing the autonomy compared to a 10W panel 7A
battery.
Caution: the use of a solar panel 20W combined to a 12V 7A battery is inadvisable because it would not exploit all the charge given by the panel.
