Solar panel MUST FACE SOUTH
SOLAR PANEL LOCATION - The solar panel must be located
on a unshaded area away from trees and/or tall structures that
may cast a shadow during any time of the day or year. It is
extremely important to be aware that the sun has a lower path
in the sky during the winter months and objects that may not
cast shadows over a certain area during summer, may cast them
during the winter. Also, trees may grow and cast larger shadows
over time.
SOLAR PANEL INCLINATION - The degrees of inclination in
reference to ground level should be set according to your
location and the illustration below. Example: If installed in the
state of Georgia, the panel must have a 40° inclination. If
installed in Wyoming the panel must have a 50° inclination.
