Safety instructions /
Protection against lightning
The following symbols are used in conjunction with these important instructions
concerning personal safety, as well as operational reliability.
"Safety instructions" are instructions that must be observed exactly,
to prevent injury and material losses,
e.g. The potentially very high temperatures inside the collector result
in a risk of scalding from the hot heat transfer medium.
"CAUTION" indicates technical instructions that you must observe
CAUTION
to prevent material losses and equipment malfunctions.
The connection of the collector array to an existing or new lightning protection
system and the installation of equipotential bonding may only be carried out
by an authorised contractor, under consideration of local conditions and in
compliance with the following technical rules:
EN 62305 Parts 1-4
VDE 0100 Part 540
Alignment and shading
Ideally, the collectors should be oriented between south-east and south-west
(optimum: south). Please refer to our technical advisers in case of an alternative
orientation. Trees, neighbouring structures, chimneys, etc. should throw as
little shade over the collectors as possible. Observe the different position of
the sun (summer/winter).
The distance between the upper end of the solar collector and the lower edge
of the ridge should be at least 3 roof tiles, in order to reduce wind forces and
to allow sufficient space for installation.
