Chapter 1 Appearance
The TP-Link VIGI intelligent solar power supply system consists of three
parts: horizontal mount, solar panel, and vertical mount.
The TP-Link VIGI intelligent solar power supply system can provide
stable and reliable voltage output for various electronic devices (such as
security surveillance cameras, outdoor wireless APs, wireless bridges,
4G routers, etc.). It is widely used in rural areas, scenic spots, orchards,
reservoirs, factories, mines, forests, etc., where power supply and
networking are hard to provide.
The figures in this guide are for demonstration purposes only. Your
device may differ in appearance from what is depicted.
■Horizontal Mount (containing Controller and Modular Battery)

2.2 Safety Precautions
• During installation, collision and knocking are strictly prohibited to avoid
damage.
• When placing the modular battery, make sure that the solar panel is
facing upwards and placed horizontally. Uneven ground may scratch or
damage the solar panel.
• Make sure there are no fixed obstructions. If installed around buildings
or trees, it is necessary to ensure the installation height of the battery
panel is higher than the obstacle.

7
• All modular battery load interfaces should take strict waterproof
measures to avoid short circuit, leakage, and other problems.
2.3 Installation
Step 1. Determine the installation location
Choose a location where the solar panel receives the most sunlight
throughout the year. Position the solar panel south-facing in the Northern
Hemisphere or north-facing in the Southern Hemisphere.
Step 2. Install the horizontal mount
Fix the horizontal mount to the vertical pole with U-shaped screws.
Tip: Determine the direction according to a compass or mobile phone
compass software, and adjust the orientation of the bracket to obtain the
maximum solar energy.
Step 3. Install the solar panel
1. Fix the solar panel on the mount. Determine the installation inclination
according to the location (the inclination can be determined according
to the latitude of the location).

8
Recommended solar panel inclination angles (the following inclination
angles correspond to the holes on the mount):
Latitude Range Recommended Inclination
0-5° 5°
5-15°15°
15-25°25°
25-35°35°
35-45°45°
>45° 55°
2. Install the solar panel using the solar panel matching screws.
Step 4. Install the vertical mount
1. Install the vertical mount to cross the horizontal mount.

9
2. Install devices on the vertical mount. Different types of mounts have
varying access methods, and the corresponding type of bracket
should be selected for installation according to the actual situation of
the device.
The installation hole diagram of the load at the end of the vertical mount is as follows:

10
1 Install the PTZ camera connector
2 Install the PTZ camera
Note: If the product is used in a windy area, it is recommended to tie VIGI 5-Series
cameras directly to the pole to reduce the impact of strong wind on the image quality
of the camera.

11
3. After connecting the camera to the load interface, wrap the
connection with over two layers of waterproof tape (not included), as
shown below.
Note: When using waterproof tape, wrap the rst layer, then cut. Apply a second layer,
ensuring no gaps between the connection and tape for secure waterproong.
Step 5. Install Waterproof Cable Attachments
Install the waterproof cable attachments for the network interface if
needed.
Note: Make sure each part is securely attached and the waterproof rings are ush to
keep out water.

Ring
O-ring Network
Interface
Waterproof
Jacket
1. Route the network cable through the following components in order:
fix nut, waterproof ring, and then the waterproof jacket.
2. Fix the O-ring to the network interface of the solar panel and connect
the network cables.
3. Attach the network interface with the waterproof jacket, then twist to
lock.
4. Insert the waterproof ring into the waterproof jacket. Rotate the fix nut
to secure it to the waterproof jacket.

Chapter 3 Configuration
Here is a typical network topology for the solar panel.
VIGI C540-4G
4G Network Camera Network Devices
(such as wireless access
points, network bridges, etc.)
Or
Step 1. Connect the RJ45 network interface of the solar panel to the
network devices (such as access points, bridges, and 4G cameras).
Step 2. Follow the instructions to finish Quick Setup.

or
2. Open the app and log in with your TP-Link ID. If you don’t have an
account, sign up first.
3. Tap the + button on the top right and follow the app instructions to add
the solar panel.
Step 3. Done.
The solar panel system is added to your network and can provide power
to your devices. You can control and manage the solar panel system via
the VIGI app remotely.

Appendix FAQ
Q1. The controller LED status is abnormal.
• SYS LED is off: It may be out of power or the system board is damaged.
• LAN LED is off: There is no connection. Check whether the RJ45 interface is firmly
connected to the network device.
• PV LED is off: The PV panel is not connected or works abnormally and cannot
generate electricity.
• BAT LED is off: The battery is working abnormally.
Q2. Short system runtime and short monitoring time
• The battery board is disconnected: Check whether the solar panel interface is
connected well, and ensure that the solar panel is in working condition.
• The solar panel is blocked: Check whether the solar panel is blocked by foreign
objects or the front of the solar panel is dirty, which will affect its power generation
efficiency.
• Inefficient equipment system: Confirm the power consumption of the equipment.
If the power consumption is large, it is recommended to replace it with a solar-
powered product with a higher specification.
