3. Installation Guide
Follow these steps to properly install your ECO-WORTHY Solar Panel for optimal performance.
Step 1: Secure the Mounting Base
- Choose a location that receives maximum direct sunlight throughout the day.
- Use the provided positioning sticker to mark the drill holes.
- If mounting on a soft or unstable surface, pre-drill holes with a 6.0 mm drill bit and insert the expansion anchors before securing the base.
- Secure the mounting base to the desired location using the provided screws.

Step 2: Install the Solar Panel
- Insert the locking nut into the ball joint of the adjustable bracket.
- Screw the round connector nut onto the ball joint.
- Screw the ball joint into the threaded hole on the back of the solar panel. Tighten it using the included nut.
- Attach the assembled solar panel and ball joint to the mounting base. Insert the locking nut at the bottom of the joint into the base, ensuring the ball joint tilts slightly upward.
Step 3: Adjust the Panel Angle
To maximize charging efficiency, adjust the solar panel angle to receive optimal direct sunlight. The panel can tilt 90° vertically, and the mount allows 360° horizontal rotation.
- Loosen the locking nut on the adjustable bracket.
- Adjust the tilt and rotation of the solar panel to face the sun directly.
- Once the desired angle is achieved, tighten the locking nut securely.

Step 4: Check the Installation
After completing the physical installation, double-check all locking mechanisms and screws to ensure everything is securely fastened and stable.
Step 5: Connect the Camera for Power Supply
The included 3-meter (9.8ft) triple-output cable supports Type-C, Micro USB, and DC interfaces, making it compatible with a wide range of outdoor surveillance cameras.
- Connect the appropriate cable end to your security camera's power input.
- Use the provided IP65 waterproof caps to cover any unused cable ports. This protects the connectors from weather elements and ensures the waterproof integrity of the system.
