STEP 5:
Once the fixture is completely installed, plug the
cable from the solar panel to the cable on the back of the
fixture to activate the fixture. The light will turn on
approximately 15-20 minutes after sunset has officially
started.
STEP 3:
Adjust the solar panel base hinge. Use the marking on the solar panel
hinge base to line up with the number on the fixture that best suites the installation.
For optimal results, always face the panel facing the equator. In the northern
hemisphere, solar panels charge most optimally when installed facing South. West &
East facing panels won’t get as much light as a southern facing panel but will still
collect good sunlight. A North facing panel will work, but it will take longer to charge
than any other direction, meaning solar charging may be less than optimal in
installations facing this way.
STEP 4:
Adjust the solar panel to the optimal angle for your location. for best results, use the
same latitude angle of location that you are installing at. For example, Chicago is 45 degrees.
Please refer to the image below for more info. Place the 2 set screws & tighten with pre attached
washers. Set as close as possible. Use the line located on the top of the solar panel hinge to line
up with the angle of your choosing.
