Step 5: Tighten hinge bolts B1 Step 6: Finish tting the cables
Step 7: Position the rows one behind each other
Attach the panel to the curved supports again and tighten hinge bolts B1. The loose cables can be secured to the edge of the panel. Using the
cable clamps supplied.
If a number of rows of panels are to be positioned one behind the other, we advise
that an optimal pitch measure of 2.20 metres is observed; this will avoid any
unwanted shadow. Optimal performance will be achieved if this pitch measure is
used. Based on sun angle of 15 degrees.
