Mounting the Solar Panel (continued)
Round wooden post up to 135mm diameter
1. Drive 1 x post firmly in the ground.
2. Slot your solar panel bracket and solar panel
over your post and secure tightly using 2 x
coach screws.
Multiple Panels and Multiple Battery Connections
If using multiple solar panels, the battery connection leads need to be
connected in parallel with the battery/batteries as shown in Figure 1.
Only one of the panels will be required to be connected to the Energizer.
Leave the remaining Energizer cable coiled up and cable tied to the back of
the panel.
With multiple batteries ensure that the connection between positive and
negative is made across the complete battery bank.
For example, in Figure 1 the positive connection is made from the battery on the
right and the negative connection from the battery on the left.

Adjusting solar panel angle
Based on the region you live in, it is important to set the correct solar panel angle to maximise solar performance.

Connect Solar Panel to the Energizer and Battery and Insert Fuse
These solar panels are designed for easy connection to the Energizer and battery.
They are supplied with two lead sets exiting the back of the solar regulator:
1. 1m Energizer connection cable:
Plug connects directly into the Energizer.
2. 3m Battery cable:
Connect the BLACK Lead to the (-) Negative Battery Terminal
and the RED Lead (with the inline fuse holder) to the (+) Positive Battery Terminal.
3. Insert Fuse:
Open the inline fuse holder on the red lead, insert the supplied fuse
and close the fuse holder cover.
Note:
Gallagher recommend protecting your batteries from the environment by
storing them in an insulated storage container.
NOTE:
For equatorial regions, please contact Gallagher group for recommended
solar panel installations.
