2.0 GENERAL INFORMATION
2.1 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.
