Abstract
A solar panel alignment device can include a first alignment feature capable of casting a shadow onto a target area. The first alignment feature can be located above a central portion of the target area. The target area can have a second alignment feature that can indicate the location of the central portion of the target area. A method for aligning a solar panel is comprised of the steps of the operator orienting the panel towards the sun so that sunlight strikes the first alignment feature so that the first alignment feature that interrupts the path of the sunlight, creating a cast shadow upon the target area; and the operator moving the panel so that the cast shadow moves to a central portion of the target area.
