For best performance, mount the fixture about 8 feet (2.4 
m) above the ground.
1.  Mount solar panel base on a solid surface using three 
tapered screws. Adjust the panel to point directly at 
the  noon  sun.  Avoid  obstructions  such  as  trees  or 
buildings that may block sun light. Allow for enough 
wire to reach the case.
  Note: You will want to re-aim the solar panel as the 
seasons change to keep it pointed directly at the noon 
sun.
