loss of current may occur.
A set of Z-brackets is provided, choose a site for mounting the solar panel that is free from shade
and located in an area that receives maximum sunlight daily. The solar panels can be
permanently installed using the hardware included. If you use the Z-brackets ensure that you
create a ½ inch space between the mounting surface and the solar panel to allow for proper
airflow under the solar panel.

The solar panel will produce a current when exposed to sunlight. Direct sunlight will produce best
results. Diffused or low light will result in lower or no output.
