2.7 Solar Panel Installation
FIGURE 2-41. Solar Panel Mounting and Cabling
a) Mount the solar panel to the tower using the mounting brackets as shown
in FIGURE 2-42. Mount the solar panel to the tower so it faces south
(northern hemisphere). Position it as high off the ground as practical,
ensuring it cannot interfere with air flow or sunlight around the sensors.
The solar panel should be oriented to receive maximum insolation over the
course of the year. Suggested tilt angles (referenced to the horizontal
plane) are listed below.
Site Latitude Tilt Angle (α)
0 to 10 degrees 10 degrees
11 to 20 Latitude + 5 degrees
21 to 45 Latitude + 10 degrees
