Installation on flat roofs
1. Determine the angle of the sun β.
In Germany this angle (subject to
latitude) lies between 12 ° (Flens-
burg) and 20 ° (Freiburg).
Angle of the sun:
90° − 23.5° − latitude
(23.5 ° is to be assumed as con-
stant)
90 ° − 23.5 °− 50 ° = 16.5 °
z Collector row distance
h Collector height
Adjusting the angle of inclination α
Position the collector array as far south as possible; linear tube axis aligned
east-west.

2. Calculating dimension z:
h = 2165 mm
α = 45 °
β = 16.5 °
α Collector angle of inclination
β Angle of the sun
