The autonomy of your Tikee through the solar resource is directly related to the installation
location. It depends on:
- the shade on the photovoltaic panel during the day (roof, pole, tree,...), the more shade the less
energy is produced;
- the orientation of the solar panel (South in the Northern Hemisphere, North in the Southern He-
misphere);
- the tilt of the solar panel (at close to the equator, about 30° in France);
- outside temperature (warmer and more performance degrades);
- the shooting interval;
- the duration of the shooting per day;
- the quality of the network in the case of a connected use (Wi or 4G).
After the desired framing chosen (cf. page 8-9), you have to adjust the position of the solar panel.
Important : To protect the battery, the battery charge is disabled ouside the range 0°C / +45°C.

Settings of the solar panel
Tilt the panel according to the latitude of
your position (approximately 30° in France
for example).
Once the panel has been tilted at the desired
angle, lock it with the 2 screws located on
either side of the photovoltaic panel (by
squeezing moderately).
Start with the orientation of the
panel to full south if you are in the Northern
Hemisphere, or full north in the Southern
Hemisphere. You can use a compass, a
watch with a compass function or a mobile
application on
your smartphone
(For example The PV Optimizer application
(iOS only) which allows you to adjust the
rotation and inclination
of the panel).
