Collector Rail (bottom) – Pitched Roof Installation: Determine the
location of the bottom collector rail(s) (1). If more than two solar
collectors (17) are installed, locate the collector rail (1) from the Additional

Tile Roof: Remove the tiles on the next row above the position of the
collector rail (1) to expose the rafters. Ensure the collector rail (1) is
horizontal. Once in position, fix the collector straps (2) to the rafters, using
suitable screws or anchors. Replace the tiles.
Metal Roof: Ensure the collector rail (1) is horizontal. Once in position, fix
the collector straps (2) to the rafters, through the metal roofing material,
using suitable screws or anchors. Care should be taken not to mark
Colorbond or other metal roof sheet with a marking pen and to remove all
swarf from the metal roof as these can cause deterioration of the metal
roofing material.
Note: Fixings must penetrate only through the high point in the roof
material profile.
Note: A rise across the solar collectors from the solar cold connection side
up to the solar hot connection side is acceptable.
Solar Frame – Flat Roof Installation: Determine the location of the
Variable Pitch frame(s). Assemble and fix the frame(s) to the roof,
following the installation instructions provided with the frame(s).
