Notes:

I printed this simple sun target to help me aim my solar panels in a temporary manual setup. The target is stuck to the face with double sided tape, hot glue, or via a secondary clip. When the target is directly pointing at the sun there will be little to no shadow cast at the base. When the panel slightly off angle, the fins cast shadows that can easily be seen and adjusted. As this will be out in the direct sun light, I recommend a UV resistant filament like PETG.

If you don't have a place on the face of the panel to easily attach the target, I have also included an example clip that is specifically designed for Renogy 100 Watt panels. That link is an Amazon affiliate link!
