For installation behind triangular gable vents, refer to steps 1-3 opposite and the following illustrations.
Step 1 Step 2 Step 3
SOLAR PANEL INSTALLATION
Step 1
Mount the 4 brackets to the solar panel
with the 8 screws provided.
Step 2
When placing the solar panels
on your roof, choose a southern
or western exposure, away from
trees and afternoon shadows.
Mount the solar panel onto the
roof with the 4 screws and lock
washers provided.
Step 3
The wiring must connect to the fan inside the attic.
To run the wiring through the roof, drill a hole under
a shingle in the
immediate vicinity
of the panel. Seal
the hole and
replace the shingle
with caulking to avoid
leaking. Alternatively, run
the solar panel wire over
the edge of the roof and
through the gable vent
to connect to the fan.
Use the wire clips
provided to secure the
wire inside the attic,
or to the roof and
siding.
Step 4
Protect the solar panel from the sun, using a non
translucent material such as the original package,
so that it will not produce
power and activate the fan.
Connect the wires of the
solar panel to those of the
attic vent. Be sure to
connect the positive wire
from the solar panel to the
positive wire from the fan,
and the negative wire from
the solar panel to the
negative wire from the fan.
TIP: To increase the power of
the fan, additional solar panels may be added, using the
easy-connect clips .
Recommendation:
Hose the panel down periodically to ensure that the
cells do not become obstructed by excessive dust
or other debris, as this could affect the output.
