3. Installation

3.1 Determine Location of Solar Panel

The solar panel must always be installed indoors, directly against the
window glass so as to allow as much natural light as possible to reach
the panel.
Caution! Never install the solar panel on any window glass
allowing less than 65% light transmission (including Low
E glass and/or window tinting), or obstructed by a window
pane or bug screen. Always leave the photovoltaic cells
unobstructed, do not put anything in front of them.
The three components which make up the Solar Pack must be installed
on the same side as the WireFree™ motor.
Somfy recommends that all components be fitted systematically in
order that all components may be connected to the wire harness easily,
and that the wire harness does not interfere with the free movement of
the interior window covering.
Please Refer to the Solar Pack Performance Tables Section 8.0 to
confirm proper usage per blind and window orientation.

3.2 Mounting the Solar Panel.

Caution! It is imperative that window hardware or framing
does not collide with the solar panel!
Careful! Do not damage the wire harness cables during installation.
Determined the position of the solar panel (against window, within
reach of wire harness) prior to application of 2-sided tape to insure
proper adhesion the first time.

3.2.1 Glass Mounting

Caution! To insure a secure adhesive hold over a long period,
prepare the inside window glass prior to mounting the solar
panel.
Important! The adhesive tape should never be touched
directly with fingers (or other contaminates) prior to adhesion.
1) Clean solar panel bezel corners and window area with alcohol prep
pad. Let dry for two minutes.
2) On a table, with the solar panel facing up, apply the 2-sided
adhesive to four corners of the solar panel bezel.
Note: The tape is precut for your convenience in between the top
(facer) and bottom (backer) liners. With your fingers, lift off each precut
adhesive piece so that it remains attached to the "facer" material and
the opposite side of the tape should then be released from the back
liner. See Photo in Figure 1 and Figure 2.
3) Remove the "facers" of the applied adhesive.
Position the bezel with solar panel facing to outdoors , then press entire
panel with firm, 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.
