Section 2: System Installation
Solar Panel Location
Site-specific information must be considered for the solar panel installation location. Large
objects like trees or building structures can prevent sunlight from reaching the solar panel.
When considering solar panel location, other scenarios must be taken into consideration
when planning solar capacity requirements. For example, more or less cloud coverage,
local weather patterns, and other circumstances that could inhibit sun exposure.
Select a location with maximum exposure to sunlight. Avoid shadows, especially during
mid-day. Orient the module so that the surface will receive the maximum sun exposure
over the year for your particular site. As a general guideline for solar panel placement,
position the solar panel facing south if located in the northern hemisphere or position the
solar panel facing north if located in the southern hemisphere.
For example,
Denver, Colorado’s latitude is around 39 degrees. In winter, the panel
should be raised to 54 degrees (from 0°) for optimum sun. In most cases the fixed 50°
mount is sufficient. For permanent installations at extreme latitudes, setting the panel
angle equal to your latitude will suffice.
Solar Panel Mounting
Each solar panel from Geotech comes with a
.1” (2.5mm) aluminum 50° vertical mounting
bracket (mounting hardware not included) for use as a pole mount or as a panel mount.
The Geotech SitePro Telemetry System has a nominal back up battery
life of 4 days using the built in 9AH battery. Longer back up times are
possible using larger solar panels and batteries.
The annual average solar resources vary from region to region. Geotech
is available to assist in a solar energy analysis per site location. Analysis
will be based on publicly available US National Labs databases.
