Solar panel mounting
The solar panel assembly is intended to be
pole mounted onto timber, steel, concrete
or similar poles. The standard solar panel
mounting bracket can accommodate all
these options through the use of either
bolting or strapping of the bracket to the
pole. A combination of one bolt and a strap
is also acceptable so long as the upper
restraint is bolted.
Falling objects with sharp points.
May cause serious injury.
When removing or installing solar panel with bird roost guard, use
appropriate personnel protective equipment, including a hard hat and
protective gloves. Do not stand directly under the solar panel during
installation or removal.
