Before Installation - What do you need to know!
1. CONSIDER THE GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION OF THE INSTALLATION
Understanding the sun’s motion relative to a site is a crucial element to predict the solar panel performance. In other words, a solar panel
located in Texas will harvest more energy than a unit installed in Canada (considering both facing south, using similar window). The same can
be said between Summer and Winter harvest performance.
As a main recommendation, installations on northern areas are recommended only for small and middle size shades (up to 48” x 60”), with
up to one cycle per day. More aspects aect the performance of solar panels and should be considered, not being possible a “one size ts all”
approach.

Suns path on Summer solstice at a southern latitude Suns path on Winter solstice at a southern latitude
The Solar Panel may not be a good t for every window. In the summer, the sun rises higher in the sky than in the winter months. The further
north, the lower the midday winter sun will be. Due the sun position, Solar panels installed facing north produce 4 times less energy than a
device installed facing south. For this reason, we do no recommend the use of solar panel on windows facing North.

West Face 95% 90%
East Face 90% 70%
South Face 25% 25%

3. DEFINE THE BEST LOCATION TO INSTALL
The solar panel is designed for indoor use only. To maximize the performance of the solar panel, it should be installed as close as possible to
the window glass, allowing as much natural light as possible to reach the panel.
Important
Any element between the Sun light and the solar panel will impact the charging time, and in some situations, prohibit the use of a solar panel.
Overcast weather is an example of possible obstruction that impossible to predict or control, but there are other elements that we should
consider before installing a solar panel, like:
• Awnings
• Trees
• Deep Eaves
• Tall buildings and walls
• Insect Screen
• Others
Other elements are not so obvious but can make it dicult to use a solar panel. The solar panel will have a low performance when installed on
locations with:
• Tinted windows
• High performance glass (also known as energy eciency glass)
• Multi panel glass
• Any window with treatment that reduces the light transmission below 65%
• Window dividers overlapping solar panel

4. HOW EFFICIENT MY SOLAR PANEL WILL PERFORM?
There is no direct answer for this question. Beside all the elements already described that impact how much energy will be
harvested from the sun, there is also the question of how fast the energy will be drained by the shade itself due to:
• Shade composition (fabric weight)
• Number of cycles per day
• Size of shade (how long the motor will run per cycle)
The answer for these questions should be considered to evaluate if solar panel is the best t for the application.
BLISS Solar Panel Installation Guide
1. INSTALLATION USING PROVIDED INSTALLATION TAPE
The solar panel must always be install indoors, directly against the window glass to allow as much natural light as possible to reach the panel.
For your convenience, the solar panel can be installed using VHB™ installation tape (recommended method) or Metal “C” Installation Bracket
(alternative method).
First, clean solar panel corners and window area using alcohol and a cloth pad. Let dry for a few minutes. On a at surface, place the solar
panel facing up and carefully apple the VHB™ installation tape on both sides of the solar panel.
Remove the “face” of the applied adhesive. Position the solar panel facing to outdoors, then press entire panel with rm, even pressure into
the glass for 10-15 seconds. The panel is now supported by the adhesive to glass bond but will require 24 hours of cure time to allow full
strength characteristics. Do not disturb during this period.

2. METAL “C” INSTALLATION BRACKET
The Metal “C” Installation Bracket is provided as an option when an installation direct on the glass is not possible. A common application is
to mount the Metal “C” bracket directly on the shades bracket. This is a great option for shades installed as ceiling mount with at least 1”
clearance between the shade and the glass.
Another application is using a “L” bracket (not provided) to support the metal “C” clip. Ensure the Solar panel and it’s bracket is not blocking
the free movement of the bottom rail.
With the metal “C” bracket secured at the shade’s bracket/wall, rmly connect the solar panel on it.
