section two Collector Layout, Orientation, and Siting Place the collector where it will receive the maximum amount of sunlight available in your location. OVSOL collectors may be installed on a roof, against a south facing wall, or on the ground. Orientation Orientation and tilt is critical to performance. - Page 7 The following chart will help you determine the tilt angle of roof pitches. For space heating systems, always have collectors sloped at optimal tilt for winter performance. Install a collector rack whenever necessary. Roof Pitch Tilt Angle Roof Pitch Tilt Angle 4/12 18°...
