Prop the Solar panel, tilted toward the sun. To achieve
day long power, the panel needs to be positioned south
facing. Fabricating a prop from timber, UPVC or
aluminium is a relatively simple process and attachment
to the frame of the Solar panel is possible by using self
tapping screws or bolt fastenings.
Attach the Solar panel to the roof of a caravan,
motorhome or boat with self-adhesive Velcro strips (loop
nylon side to panel, ‘hook’ side to roof). The Solar
panel will receive light throughout the day and benefits
from the added security of being out of sight. (USE
ONLY WHEN STATIONARY). As an alternative, used very successfully by the Solar Technology team is to fix rubber bungs (found in all DIY
stores) to the underside of the panel frame – a simple
anti-slip/scratch solution. |
