D. Mount the solar panel
The solar panel can be installed vertically or horizontally.
Recommendations: Do not install the solar panel under a roof overhang. The solar panel must receive sunlight directly.
Tilt the panel to an angle α in relation to a horizontal plane; angle α is indicated on the tilt gauge.
The solar panel must be facing South to operate properly.
Use the compass provided to orient the solar panel.
If the panel is installed vertically, the black box on the rear of the panel must be on top so that the cable outlet still feeds out to the
bottom.
Using the compass
[1]. Position the compass so that it is completely flat and away from any metal parts (held in your hand, for example).
[2]. Turn the compass so that the red magnetic needle is opposite the red arrow marked «N».
This is now indicating North.
[3]. Orient the solar panel in the opposite direction, i.e. so that it is facing «S».
