Installing the LEC
The LEC is designed to be
mounted on a rigid pole. An
alumunium or galvanized
pipe of diameter 26 mm is
ideal, but a thick PVC pipe is
acceptable. The pole should
be mounted on the rooftop,
clamped or tied to the truss of
the roof. If you cannot mount
it there, you can also nail
the pole on the outer wall of
your house that is facing the
equator, as long as the LEC is
not overshadowed.
The Sun
It is very important that the
LEC be positioned facing the
equator. If necessary, also
adjust the LEC's tilt angle, so
that at 12 o'clock the sun's
rays should fall straight on
Equator
the LEC's top surface for
an optimal sunlight energy
harvest.
