3 GreenWay™ installation & operation manual 0410 MKTG-IM-GREEN-002
Site Selection and Preparation
Locate and install the PV panels in an area where the PV panels can face the equator (due south in the
Northern hemisphere) and not shaded by trees, poles, buildings, or other objects during the day (Figure 1).
Do not locate in an area where there is
excessive ambient or reflected light at night
which may simulate daylight and cause the
system controller to turn off the system.
Installing in a location where the solar
panels are shaded during part of the day will
prevent the solar panel from fully charging
the battery, reducing the hours of nighttime
illumination and possibly damaging the
battery. If installed near a tree, check the
tree branches every three months and trim
when needed.
Installation of the solar light system and
pole must comply structural engineering
requirements for local and national codes.
