Set up your solar kit
For positioning the camera and planning its power route, see our camera installation guide.
Because of the size and weight of the solar kit, use two people when installing it. For first use, turn on the battery and connect the solar panel without a camera attached. Allow it to charge until the battery display shows 12 V or above.
