How to Install A Solar Off Grid Well pump System

What happens here

Carefully lift and attach each 200-watt solar panel to the previously assembled frame. The panels are secured using specialized clips. These clips slide into place from the backside of the panel and are gently tapped with a dead blow rubber hammer to ensure they are firmly seated without damaging the panel. Ensure the panels are positioned at the correct angle (40 degrees in this case, based on latitude) and facing due south for optimal sun exposure. The presenter mentions that the panels are installed high enough to graze cows underneath, but will likely require a fence to prevent damage from the animals seeking shade or using the panels as scratching posts.

Goal: Securely mount the solar panels onto the support structure
