Solar performance

Positioning and handling guidance to maximize CCTV Tower solar charging performance.

Core rules

• Solar panels should face south where practical.

• Panels must not be shaded.

• Any shading significantly reduces charging performance.

• Keep panels clean from dust and dirt.

Seasonal tilt guidance

• Winter: keep panels near vertical.

• Summer: keep panels nearer horizontal.

• Transport: return panels to transport position and secure.

Wind guidance

• Stow solar panels when strong winds are expected.

• Lower mast in strong winds where required by site risk assessment.

Mechanical locking

• Tighten panel locking nuts after tilt adjustment.

• Reinstall all locking bars fully after deploy and stow actions.
