2.0 Installation
Install the Sol TP Series lighting system in accordance with all applicable building codes.
Though designed for ease of installation, it is recommended that the Sol TP Series lighting
system be installed by a licensed electrician.
The Sol TP Series lighting system is manufactured to comply with Article 690
of the National Electric Code. Please consult with your local building authority
for requirements that are specific to your area.
2.1 Site Selection and Preparation
Locate and install the PV
panels in an area where
they can face the equator
(due south in the Northern
hemisphere) and will not
be shaded by trees, poles,
buildings, or other objects
during the day (Figure 2).
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.
Before installing near a tree, 1) verify that the municipality allows tree trimming and,
2) understand that the tree branches will likely need to be trimmed on a regular basis.
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.
