What happens here
Take the post mount and slide it onto the top of the previously installed galvanized steel post. Secure it by tightening the U-bolts. Then, lift the solar panel assembly and slide its brackets onto the post mount. Adjust the solar panel to face due south and ensure it's at the appropriate angle (60 degrees for summer, as per the manual). Once the position is correct, use the Milwaukee M18 Fuel impact driver and socket set to fully tighten all bolts and nuts on both the post mount and the solar panel brackets, ensuring a sturdy and stable setup.
Goal: Securely attach the solar panel to the support post at the correct orientation and angle.
