What happens here
Attach the solar panel mounting brackets to the back of the solar panel. The video shows installing bolts without washers first to hold the brackets in place, then adding flat washers, locking washers, and nuts. All connections are installed loosely at this stage to allow for adjustments. The instructions provided with the Koenders DC-200 model indicate an optimal summer angle of 60 degrees and a winter angle of 10 degrees. The solar panel is lightweight (around 15-18 lbs), making it manageable for one person to handle, though assistance is helpful.
Goal: Securely attach the mounting brackets to the solar panel.
