Mounting the Solar Power Kit With Vantage Pro2
Stations

Most people mount the Solar Power Kit on the galvanized steel tube in the
Mounting Pole Kit (#7717) or Mounting Tripod (#7716) that is used to mount
the weather station. For tripod installation, refer to your tripod manual (if nec-
essary). The following are examples of different Solar Power Kit assemblies,
one on a tripod, another mounted to a fence or post, using the Vantage Pro2
console and Envoy.
