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°.
Latitudes for the UK
The solar collectors offer maximum energy performance when the glass
surface faces directly south. It is recommended not to vary more than 30°
from the optimum due south position.
A collector facing east side of south will give better performance in the
morning than in the afternoon.
A collector facing west side of south will give better performance in the
afternoon than in the morning.

Prior to installation, the current condition of the roof must be assessed to
ensure that it is capable of withstanding the additional weight of the solar
collectors and roof mounting system. Where necessary, specialist
personnel should be contacted to verify the suitability of the roof structure.
The frame should be fixed to the floor with M10 Bolts (not supplied).
It is essential that the fixing points are 100% waterproof.
