Infrared (IR) Light: Infrared light has wavelengths longer than 700 nm, beyond the visible light spectrum. Although infrared light carries energy, it is not in the range that can be effectively harnessed by solar cells. UV Light: UV light has less than 400 nm wavelengths and is not part of the visible light spectrum. UV light cannot be efficiently captured and converted by …
Before installing the solar lights, prepare the installation area. Clear any debris or obstacles that may hinder the installation process. Ensure that the ground is level and stable to provide a solid foundation for the light fixtures. Taking the time to prepare the area will ensure a smooth and secure installation.
Ensure your solar light installation site is free of obstructions from access to the sun. Also, you’ll want to ensure there aren’t foreign light sources that can interfere with the panel’s light sensor. Keep the pole away from heat sources and ensure it’s on level, solid ground (we can accommodate if the soil isn’t the most sturdy).
Affix the mounting bracket to the solar panels with bolts and nuts. Connect the cables from the panels to the cables coming from the pole. Ensure the waterproof connectors are connected securely. Use a multimeter to test the panel voltage. This test must be done during the day. The voltage output of the panel must be around 20V (per panel).
Your fixture may look different than the one depicted below. Slide the fixture onto the arm, level it, and then tighten the fixture with mounting bolts. Before installing, verify that your inclination angle for the solar panel is provided.
The conduit connects the solar panel or array to the house or battery backup system. You can dig the trench or run the pipes now or at the end of the process. It is better to do all of that now, run the wires through the conduit and leave them unattached until you are ready to connect them.
Minimum Shade: It must be made sure that the selected site either at rooftop or ground should not have shades or should not have any structure that intercepts the solar radiation falling on the panels to be installed.
