Standalone Installation sequence
There will be one package (or palette) of materials. This palette contains six sections (A1, A2,
A3, A4, B1 & B2). A1, A2, A3, A4 are top panel portion and B1 and B2 are bottom portions. One box
will contain framing hardware and the other two boxes will contain inverter & charge controller pre-
assembled and one battery containing box. All tasks must be performed by qualified individuals
familiar and trained in wiring safety and electrical codes.
Framing the Solar panels is the first step as given below. Refer to the installation video for
mechanical framing installation. As this is a SolarPod

Standalone, the electrical installation in the
video will not be for the Standalone system. Ensure the solar panels face due south and have no (or
minimal) shading to maximize solar potential.
1. We will connect the B1 and B2 first using the leg bracket given and secure them. Secure the bolts
and tighten. Splice bar shown is not necessary for most applications and is placed only in
hurricane prone regions. The closeup of the splice is shown below. If you require splice bars for
your application please call SolarPod

.
2. Then the six feet’s will be attached to the bottom portion (B1 and B2) as shown below and tighten.
3. The ground is prepared using six patio
blocks and leveled.
4. The SolarPod

bottom frame is placed on
the patio blocks. The Easy hook anchors
are driven into the four corner leg plates
anchoring them securely. Use additional
ways to secure the leg to the ground or
roof if you feel it is necessary.
5. Join A1 and A2 using the plate joint
provided. A1 can be identified easily
since it is the only solar panel with cable
that has been coiled and tied to the
frame.
6. Join A3 and A4 using the plate joint
provided.
