Battery: To protect the battery from the elements, it should be placed in a separate plastic/metal

container with slits/holes to allow airflow (a plastic car battery enclosure can be purchased

locally). Since lead-based batteries leak small amounts of hydrogen gas when charged, creating a

potential fire hazard, it is very important to provide appropriate ventilation. The battery and

its enclosure can be mounted on the side of the tower or sitting on the ground and appropriately

secured (e.g. chained). The battery should NOT be installed inside the same enclosure as the

data logger. There is a short section at the end of the video called “Installing the solar panel and

the battery” on the TEAM portal in the Climate Protocol section that describes battery

installation procedures (http://www.teamnetwork.org/en/protocols/threat/climate). This video

also has information about installing the solar panel.

3.11 Installing the Solar Panel

Equipment/supplies needed:

• Wrench

• Solar panel (SP10)

• Solar panel mount

• Compass

• Clinometer

The solar panel should be installed in a way to maximize exposure to sunlight and ensure the

station can run on solar power during the day. Please see the video mentioned above for more

information about installing the solar panel. The following sections detail how to connect the

solar panel to the charge regulator and angle the solar panel to receive the most light.

3.12 Connecting the Solar Panel to the Charge Regulator

Equipment/supplies needed:

• Screwdriver

• Charge regulator (PS100)

• Wires to connect battery/solar panel

• Wire cutter/stripper

• Plastic cable ties

• Electrical tape

In order to safely connect the battery and solar panel to the charge regulator it is very important

to follow the steps below in the order they are written. Instructions can also be found on page 5

of the charge regulator’s operating manual.

1. Install the charge regulator. Before mounting the solar panel to the tower, install the

power regulator (PS100) in the enclosure above the data logger. This ensures that the

current coming from the panel is regulated and the current from the battery does not drain

to the panel. WHEN INSTALLING THE REGULATOR MAKE SURE THE

PANEL IS COVERED OR FACING DOWN TO AVOID EXPERIENCING

ELECTRIC SHOCK.
