Location: When selecting a suitable location, it is essential to take
into account that the location is fully OUT OF THE SHADE all day
long. Even partial shading of the solar panel, regardless of how
minimal, will result in a significant loss of efficiency! The solar panel
must be placed in a southerly facing direction.
Insulation to the ground: The solar station itself is live. Insulation
to the ground is achieved by means of the plastic pallet supplied.
In case of higher vegetation or risk of flooding, the solar station
should be raised above the potential hazard, e.g. on four wooden
posts.

Make sure that the solar station is securely attached, and that the
pallet is firmly secured on the posts. A piece of PVC strip has been
included, to prevent shading caused by grass growth at the base of
the solar panel. This is screwed to the base of the pallet in order to
avoid vegetation causing overgrowth there (see figure 3.1).

Dig a trench of 20-40 cm deep and with the following length:
• Model MB 2800i approx.. 25 m
• Model MB 1800i approx.. 15 m
30m
3.2.2 Reference - earth (A)
Take the 1.0 m long galvanised earth rod
√
excavated trench approx. 90 cm into the ground. Use the earth rod
as a centre point.
This earth rod is needed as an earth reference point.
3.2.3. Earthing (B)
Drill a hole at least 5 m from the centre point. It should be approx.
1.0 m deep and 10 cm in diameter. Pour the earthing mixture
into the hole.
Connect two earth rods of 1.0 m
using a connector.
Take the connected earth rods, place them in the centre of the
hole and drive them down approx. 1.9 m into the ground. Repeat
this process at intervals of 10 m until all the earth rods have been
successfully installed. (see figure 3.2)
and drive it into the
