INSTALLATION The following topics should be considered prior to installing the SOLARcomfort system. 5.1 T & C In general Solar Thermal Systems tend to be looked upon favourably by OUNTRY LANNING Local Authority Planning Departments, although there are implications for listed buildings and sensitive front elevations in some conservation areas. -
Page 16: Collector Inclination
Collectors mounted on a pitched roof should always be parallel to the tiles 5.7 C OLLECTOR NCLINATION i.e. at the same angle as the roof. There is no exception to this rule. Collectors can be mounted on a flat roof or the ground, for such applications a special inclined angle fixing set is available - see section 7. -
Page 17: Pipework
The installation of pipework must be made in accordance with good 5.11 P IPEWORK plumbing practice, the following points should be considered when installing pipework. Pipe runs should be chosen to give the shortest most direct route to the storage cylinder, with minimum bends. Tight bends should be avoided. -
Page 18: Onfigurations
Two to seven collectors can be connected in series. When more than 5.13 C OLLECTOR seven are installed we recommend the panels are installed in a parallel ONFIGURATIONS configuration. Connection in series is recommended when a limited output and high domestic hot water temperature is required. SERIES Flow Return... -

Page 31: Angle Of Inclination 7.3 Collector Orientation 7.4 Dimensions
In the unlikely event that peak winter operation (October – March) is required, the inclination should be equal to the latitude of the location, increased by up to 10°, this will encourage absorption when the sun is low over the horizon. In the UK this could result in an angle of 50° - 75°, however it is not practical to install the collector at an angle greater than 60°. -

When the collectors are to be mounted on the ground a suitable base 7.6 G ROUND REPARATION should be provided. A suggested construction is shown in Fig. 7.5a. The frame should be fixed to the base with M10 Bolts (not supplied). On very exposed sites further bracing is recommended. - Page 33 NOTES...
