Mounting flat solar panels

Unless specified otherwise, the installation steps quoted for tiled roofs are the same for other roof coverings.
Notes for safe and trouble-free operation
• Mount the solar panel with a gradient to the lower collector coupling (return flow).
• Always run the connection pipe between the flat solar panels and the hot water storage tank with continuous gradient to
avoid a siphon effect (opposite gradient) over the whole connection run.
• The upper edge of the flat solar panels must not be more than 12 m above the storage cylinder(s) mounting floor level.

DANGER!
There is an increased accident risk during work on a roof. When working on the roof, the general accident
prevention regulations must be observed to prevent accidents. Installation work on the roof must only be
carried out by authorised and trained personnel.
• Before starting the installation work, check that the roof structure has adequate carrying capacity and is
undamaged (e.g. defective battens or leaks).
• Use of tools etc. only in accordance with the applicable accident prevention regulations.
• Marking of the workplace (danger of parts falling down).
WARNING!
After their packaging is removed, the flat solar panels will become hot very quickly if they are exposed to the
sun's rays.
• Wear protective gloves.
• Remove protective caps (not heat-resistant) after positioning the flat solar panel.
CAUTION!
Frost or overheating can damage the system.
• Permit the system to drain.
• Ensure that, during installation, the bottom edges of the assembled flat solar panels are above the Solar
system flow connection on the storage tank.
