as much as possible
1 Identify Location for System Components
Survey the area where the System will be deployed. The PV arrays should be located in an unshaded
area while all other System components should be located in a shaded area.
a Component Shading
It is critically important to shade all of the components (except the PV arrays) as much as possible
to reduce heat buildup inside the components (solar loading). Higher temperatures will result in
derating, or diminished capacity and efficiency, of the components.
OPERATOR INSTRUCTIONS
ALL Solar Stik equipment is designed for operation in adverse conditions, however, certain rules
apply:
1
If operating in wet environments, use common-sense placement to avoid water intrusion by either
flooding or precipitation.
2
If operating in dusty environments, ensure good airflow by keeping air filters clean and placing
unit in a location that minimizes exposure to particulates.
Direct ground placement of any power management or energy storage component is generally not
recommended, but possible if no other option is available. If it is necessary, preventative measures
for water and dust should be taken. Consult the
section of this manual for
additional details and component-specific preventive maintenance checks and service (PMCS).
b Minimize Potential for Water and Dust Intrusion
