BEFORE INSTALLATION – WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
HOW EFFICIENT WILL MY SOLAR PANEL PERFORM?
There is no direct answer for this question. Beside all the elements already described that impact how much
energy will be harvested from the sun, there is also the question of how fast the energy will be drained by
the shade itself due to:
• Shade composition (fabric weight)
• Number of cycles per day
• Size of shade (how long the motor will run per cycle)
The answer for these questions should be considered to evaluate if the solar panel is the best fit for the application.

SOLAR PANEL INSTALLATION GUIDE
™
The solar panel must always be install indoors, directly against the window glass to allow as much natural light
as possible to reach the panel. For your convenience, the solar panel can be installed using VHB™ installation tape
(recommended method) or Metal "L" Installation Bracket (alternative method).
INSTALLATION USING PROVIDED INSTALLATION TAPE
First, clean solar panel corners and window area using alcohol and a cloth pad. Let dry for a few minutes.
On a flat surface, place the solar panel facing up and carefully apply the VHB
installation tape on both sides
™
of the solar panel.
Remove the "face" of the applied adhesive. Position the 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.
