Install Aspen 10

The Aspen 10 is weatherproof and requires no additional enclosure. When installing the integrated solar panel, ensure it is positioned in an area receiving a minimum of four hours of sunlight daily. Orient the Aspen 10 solar panel towards the equator or in the most optimal direction for solar exposure. See Recommended solar panel orientation for the recommended orientation based on latitude. Check for any obstructions such as trees that may block sunlight to the horizon. Tilt spacers of 10° and 45° are available to optimize the solar panel angle for specific installations.

If there are obstructions to the rising or setting sun and you need to rely on the sun at its azimuth for solar charging, we recommend using the 45° mounting accessory and orient the solar panel toward the equator.
