SOLAR COLLECTOR LOCATION
The solar collectors must be installed in a shade free position.
The solar collectors are to be installed facing toward the equator (i.e. north facing in the
southern hemisphere and south facing in the northern hemisphere). Where this orientation is
not practical, a system facing up to 45° from the equator will have its efficiency reduced by
approximately 4%.
Inclination of the solar collectors should be approximately equal to 90% of the local latitude
angle.
Solar collectors may be installed at the roof angle for simplicity of installation and appearance,
but must never be flat. If the roof angle varies by 15° from the correct angle, efficiency will be
reduced by 10%.
The installer must ensure the structural integrity of the building is not compromised by the
solar water heater installation and the roof structure is suitable to carry the full weight of the
solar collector(s). If in doubt the roof structure should be suitably strengthened.
Each solar collector and its fittings weighs approximately 44 kg when full of water.
INSTALLATION – SOLAR COLLECTORS
PREFACE:
Approximate roof area required:
2 Collectors are 2.8m wide x 2.4m high. (88kgs total, filled with water)
3 Collectors are 4m wide x 2.4m high. (132kgs total, filled with water)
NOTE: Ensure the mounting surface is strong enough to support the collectors. Most roofs can
support the panels, but if unsure consult a structural engineer.
ONLY QUALIFIED TRADESPERSONS SHOULD INSTALL THESE COLLECTORS.
GLAZING CANNOT BE REPLACED ONSITE.
