2.2 Installing AFG SLR Solar Panel

Once you have found a location for your AFG SLR solar panel, now it’s time to mount the panel. The wiring from the solar panel is 30 feet

long and must connect directly to the AFG SLR. Make sure the location you have chosen is within 30 feet of the AFG SLR.

1. Attach the provided screws and brackets to the solar panel. Install the angle adjustment brackets by securing one end to the

regulating plate and the other end to the solar panel frame.

2. Set up the panel at either 15° or 45° (see Adjusting the Solar Panel on page 7).

3. Find the best mounting location (see Choosing the Right Location on

page 4).

Shingle Roof: Using four 3” galvanized screws, fasten the panel to the roof.

Tile Roof: Find the contact points between the roof and the backside of

the solar panel. Apply roofing adhesive to these contact points and firmly

secure the panel to the surface.

4. To prevent leaking, make sure to apply weatherproof roofing grade

sealant on the screwheads.

5. Now it’s time to run the wire from the solar panel into the attic through

the gable vent. Be sure to include a drip curve in the wire to ensure no

water can run down the cord and enter the attic through the gable vent.

6. Now connect the wire to your AFG SLR. The AFG SLR will automatically

turn on if there is sunlight and the temperature is above 75° F

Adjusting the Solar Panel

The fan’s solar panel should be adjusted to maximize exposure to the sun’s path during the day. The optimal adjustment

is to have the panel 90 degrees to the midday path of the sun. You can readjust the panel during winter or summer

seasons if desired.

Adjusting Panel Tilt

This fan has two solar panel adjustments: 15° and 45°. Set the

angle properly to capture the most direct sunlight. Remove the

screw on both sides of the panel assembly. Lift the panel and

swing the panel braces up to the desired position and re-attach

the screw in the applicable holes.
