Determining space required on roof

Please note the following minimum space requirements.

At least two tiles to the roof or chimney. Otherwise there
is a risk of damaging the tiles, particularly if the tiles are
laid in mortar.
Dimension D
Roof overhang including gable wall thickness.
Dimension E
Minimum 30 cm for fitting the connection cables in
the attic.
Dimension F
Minimum 40 cm for installing the connection cables in
the attic (if installing a vent, sufficient space must also be
allowed for in the vicinity of the flow outlet).
Please note that the air vent must be the highest point of
the system.
Dimension G
Minimum 50 cm left and right of the collector array for
the pipework under the roof.
Dimension H
Dimension H is 1.900 mm (1.000 mm for landscape col-
lectors) and is the minimum distance from the upper
edge of the collector to the lower profile rail, which is in-
stalled first.
