How high should I install my solar panel and enclosure?
That will depend on your application. Mounting your enclosure and solar panels high above the ground will discourage vandalism. It’s important to mount the solar panels above any obstacles that may cause shade. Maximum sunlight exposure is most important. Mounting the enclosure directly below the solar panels is ideal to shade the enclosure and keep cool.
