1. Locate the Solar Panels (12) where they will
receive full, unobstructed sunlight, especially during
midday. Nearby trees or tall plants will drop debris,
requiring the panels to be cleaned more frequently.
2. The setup location for the Solar Panel Kit must
be inaccessible to children to prevent electric
shock. Build a childproof enclosure if needed.
3. Install the charge controller/regulator and batteries
in a weatherproof enclosure with proper ventilation.

1. Select a mounting location for the Solar Panel
Kit. The Solar Panels should face the Sun, and
not be blocked by shadows. The location should
allow the Panels to be protected from accidental
damage. The location should be flat, stable and
able to support the weight of the Solar Panel
Kit’s accessories. Before assembly, be sure
that all accessory cables reach their connection
points without placing any stress on the wiring.
2. Angle face of Solar Panel Frame toward true
south
