System Setup and Operation Manual for the Solar Stik G-BOSS E Light HPS
PRELIMINARY
h Secure PV Arrays to the Ground
WARNING
Failure to properly secure the PV arrays to the surface with sandbags could result in PV panel
damage, injury, or death in high winds. Tent stakes should be used in addition to sandbags when
possible. Wind damage can render panels nonfunctional or significantly reduce their functional life
expectancy.
Detailed instructions for securing the PV arrays are found in the 450W Expedition PV Array
Operator Manual and the Solar Stik 400 Operator Manual Read and follow these instructions
The PV arrays must be properly secured to the ground even in low-wind environments. The methods
used for ground securing are determined by two (2) factors:
1
The type of surface upon which the PV arrays are to be deployed—“hard” surface (such as
pavement) or “soft” surface (such as dirt or sand)
2
The environmental conditions—wind conditions that the PV arrays might encounter
