Campbell Scientific SP70 Solar Panel - Manual (Page 6)

SP70 Solar Panel
The above wind load data assumes that the SP70 solar panel is
mounted on a CM110 tripod with extended guy wire kit (CSI p/n
19282) installed with the guy radius of 100 inches and the 100
pounds of guy wire pretension. The position of the solar panel
along the tripod mast has little effect on the wind load. However,
if the extended guy wire kit is not installed, the wind load is
reduced to 11 m/s (25 mph) and 8.9 m/s (20 mph) for single and
double panel installations, respectively. For more information
on installing the CM110 tripod with proper guy wire pretension,
please refer to the CM110 manual. NOTE
Regulator (purchased separately and not shipped with SP70)
Model: Morningstar SunSaver SS-10-12V
Temperature Compensation (mV/°C): -28
Self Consumption:
6 to 10 mA
Operating Temperature: -40° to +85°C
A second SP70 can be connected to the regulator to provide a
total of 140 W of typical peak power. One Morningstar
SunSaver SS-10-12V regulator can handle two SP70 solar panels. NOTE
