Fastening: to prevent large quantities of snow from accumulating behind the sensor, install appropriate barrier grids.
The position of the solar panel influences your electrical production. Choose the most optimal inclination and orientation to suit your environment. Avoid shaded areas or objects that are a source of shadow (eg tree)
Before attaching and connecting, please observe:
- the maximum distances between each element shown below.
- connecting order
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
- Take the appropriate mesures to prevent accidents during your mounting steps.
