Automatic Chicken Coop Door | Adjusting Solar Panel

Unfortunately, I lost the footage of how I put together my solar panel automatic chicken door. I'll be showing you how it works, and the basic maintenance needed to have a solar panel operate at peak efficiency. See below for the solar coop door kit I used, and the formula for adjusting your solar panel angle. Archived footage filmed April 18th, 2017.

This is the Ebay merchant I bought my automatic door kit from.
Here is the current listening for the kit as of April 1st, 2018

Below is the formula for figuring out your solar panel angle for the latitude you live at IF you are in the northern hemisphere.
Go to this website for a complete description and the formulas for determining the correct angle anywhere in the world.
http://www.solarpaneltilt.com/

Change Solar Panel Tilt to Exact Angle
If your latitude is between 25° and 50°, then the best tilt angles are:

-For summer, take the latitude, multiply by 0.92, and subtract 24.3 degrees.
-For spring and autumn, take the latitude, multiply by 0.98, and subtract 2.3 degrees.
-For winter, take the latitude, multiply by 0.89, and add 24 degrees.

San Diego Latitude: 32.71

Exact for San Diego:
Adjust to summer angle on April 18: 5.79
Adjust to autumn angle on August 24: 29.75
Adjust to winter angle on October 7: 53.11
Adjust to spring angle on March 5: 29.75

Specific Latitude Angles:
Latitude Summer angle Spring/autumn angle Winter angle
25° -1.3 2.2 46.3
30° 3.3 27.1 50.7
35° 7.9 32.0 55.2
40° 12.5 36.9 59.6
45° 17.1 41.8 64.1
