Ask the Right Questions


Ask the right Questions• What equipment is being used?• How is the equipment powered?

• AC/DC/PoE/Voltages• How much power does the

equipment draw?• Hours of operation?• Where is the system going?• How is it mounted?


The Sun Doesn’t Shine Evenly


Location…Location…Location Cold weather• Reduces capacity of

lead acid batteries• Solar panels work

better

To Combat Colder Climates• Increase # of batteries

to decrease depth of discharge


Location…Location…Location Hot weather• Reduces life of lead

acid batteries• Normally longer sun

hours

To Combat Warmer Climates• Add a fan, vent or

keep in shade

It’s All About the Math

Over Discharging Batteries (Cycle Degradation)• 1 cycle =

charge and discharge

• Life of battery is reduced significantly when discharged below 60% capacity


Outside Factors to Consider


Outside Factors• Avoid bird perch spots• Snow will collect on the Panels• Panel Tilt - the further North or

South from the equator the greater the recommended solar panel tilt

• Avoid shading the solar panels (buildings, trees, fencing, children using your panel as a playground)
