3.2 Orientation

The solar panel should be oriented to receive maximum insolation (incident
solar radiation) over the course of a year. Suggested tilt angles of the solar
panel are given in Table 1.

After determining the tilt angle, loosen the 5/16" nuts on each side of the solar
panel, adjust the panel, and tighten the two nuts to secure the position. See
