Sol Transit Shelter Security Lighting - Manual (Page 3)

3 rev. 0212 MKTG-IM-TSSL-001
Installation and Owner’s Manual | TSSL
General Information
Site Selection and Preparation
Locate and install the PV panels in an area where the PV panels can face the equator (due south in the Northern
hemisphere) and not shaded by trees, poles, buildings, or other objects during the day (Figure 1).
Do not locate in an area where there is excessive
ambient or reflected light at night which may
simulate daylight and cause the system controller
to turn off the system. Installing in a location where
the solar panels are shaded during part of the day
will prevent the solar panel from fully charging the
battery, reducing the hours of nighttime illumination
and possibly damaging the battery.
IMPORTANT: If installed near a tree, check the
tree branches every three months and trim
when needed.
Installation of the solar light system must comply
structural engineering requirements for local and
national codes. Though designed for ease the TSSL
should be installed by a qualified personnel.
