1. Drive 1 x post firmly in the ground.
2. Slot your solar panel bracket and solar panel
over your post and secure tightly using 2 x

Multiple Panels and Multiple Battery Connections
If using multiple solar panels, the battery connection leads need to be
connected in parallel with the battery/batteries as shown in Figure 1.
Only one of the panels will be required to be connected to the Energizer.
Leave the remaining Energizer cable coiled up and cable tied to the back of
the panel.
With multiple batteries ensure that the connection between positive and
negative is made across the complete battery bank.
For example, in Figure 1 the positive connection is made from the battery on the
right and the negative connection from the battery on the left.
