Solar Panel Installation
1.
Identify a location that will allow the solar panel to collect the maximum amount of light and a minimal
amount of shade.
2.
Mount the solar panel bracket to the wall using screws (not provided) or to a pole with the two supplied
hose clamps. Open up the electrical box on the back of the solar panel by removing the screws.
Connect the power cable that leads out of the top of the Call Station to the terminals in the electrical
box by feeding the wire through the circular opening in the box. Connect red to positive and black to
negative which are the outer two terminals (see picture below). Secure the weather tight connection to
box and reattach cover by installing the screws.
3.
Use the chart below to determine your approximate latitude. Take your estimated latitude, multiply by .9,
and add 29 to arrive at the angle to set the solar panel.
