1. Use a at head screwdriver to remove the bracket cover (Fig. 2.2a).
2. Once the cover is removed, loosen the Allen head to adjust the solar panel angle (Fig. 2.2b).
To ensure your solar panel absorbs as much light as possible, it’s important to adjust the solar panel
angle to an ideal angle, depending on your region (refer to table below).
3. Tighten the bolt after adjusting the angle to secure the solar panel in place.
4. Replace the cover.
Note: Ideally, the panel must point north with the correct angle from the table above. Please contact
VIP Vision for cities outside of Australia.
To ensure the solar panel works efciently, it will require regular cleaning. The lower the angle the solar
panel is positioned (atter), the more often it will need to be cleaned.
