Solar Unit Pole Installation

BBA-6 Enclosure Step-by-Step 🔢

  1. You can prep the enclosure by drilling holes in the enclosure bottom and dividing the shelf per the following diagram for cable pass-through. You have to insert (1) weatherproof RJ45 (cate5/cat6) connector, (1) PG16 cable gland, and (1) PVC snap-in bushing.

  1. You should mount the BBA-6 enclosure using the center holes in the top & bottom mounting flanges.

    1. You need to measure and mark the pole at 6'-0" AFG. This will be the top flange hole location.

    2. You can pre-drill using a 1/4" drill bit.

  2. You need to mount the BBA-6 enclosure using 3/8"x 3 1/2" galvanized lag screws & 3/8" galvanized washers.

    You need to repeat the steps for the bottom flange.

  1. You have to install (3) 110-ah batteries into the bottom compartment of the enclosure.

  1. You will need to mount the back panel into the top compartment of the enclosure.

    The Panduit should line up above the 1 3/8" hole with the PVC snap-in bushing.

Solar Panel Step-by-Step ☀️

  1. Install the Solar Panels facing a south-eastern direction.

  1. Mark the mounting hole location for the bottom solar panel bracket according to the diagram below. Using a ¼" drill bit, you can pre-drill the top and bottom solar bracket holes.

  1. You need to attach the solar panel to the mounting bracket before mounting the panel/ assembly mount to the pole.

  1. You have to mount the bottom solar panel/mount assembly to the pole using (2) 3/8"x3 1/2" galvanized lag bolts with 3/8" washers.

  1. Repeat these steps for the remaining solar panel brackets/ panels.

Solar Panel Wire Terminations 🔩

  1. Using the Evercam provided 5'-0" long MCA extension cables, you should connect the solar panels in "series" per the following diagram:

  1. Connect the positive (+) and negative (-) ends of the 10awg solar cable to the appropriate PV terminals on the MPPT charge controller.

Battery Wire Terminations 🔋

  1. You should connect the battery’s negative (-) terminals to the negative (-) BATT terminal on the MPPT charge controller.

  2. Then connect the battery's positive (+) terminals to the positive (+) BATT terminal on the MPPT charge controller.
