How to Install the Jackery SolarSaga 100 Light: 

The Jackery SolarSaga 100 Light supports two types of mounting: adhesive and suspension. 

Adhesive Mounting 

The adhesive mounting is suitable for low, smooth surfaces, such as cars, yachts, and RVs. You should not use the adhesive mounting to mount the panel to the walls. Here are the steps to use adhesive mounting: 

Step 1: Start by placing the Jackery SolarSaga 100 Light face down on a flat surface.

Step 2: Next, start marking about every 20 cm (or 8 inches) on the back of the Jackery SolarSaga 100 Light.

Step 3: Carefully apply the adhesive evenly on the marked positions. You should avoid the adhesive covering on the front of the solar panel.

Step 4: Now flip the solar panel and press gently onto the installation surface. If there are any gaps between the solar panel and the installation surface, add adhesive. Let it sit for 24 hours to cure the adhesive.

Note: Adhesive is not included in the bundle, and you must purchase a suitable adhesive separately.

Suspension Mounting 

For suspension mounting, you will need the Jackery Suspension Wire Kit that includes Rope × 2, Rope Tensioner × 2, and Rope Clamp × 2. Here are the steps to do suspension mounting: 

Step 1: Start by tightening the rope clamp 20 cm - 30 cm from the end of each rope.

Step 7: Loosen the wing nut of the rope clamp, thread the rope through, and then tighten the wing nut. However, you should not loosen both wing nuts at once to prevent the solar panel from slipping off. You can pull the upper rope end of the solar panel to tighten it securely.
