Existing Plumbing System What type of plumbing system is in the dwelling (vented or un-vented)? Is solid fuel incorporated into the plumbing system? Is there adequate access to route pipe work from solar collectors down to cylinder location? (yes/no) Is there space in the hot press to locate solar pump station? (yes/no) NAVITAS IN-ROOF installation manual... - Page 6 Risk Assesment Safe Roof Access To Work Is there adequate access to area of house to mount scaffolding or ladders? (yes/no) Is there steady and secure base on which to mount scaffolding or ladders? (yes/no) Are the scaffolding and or ladders fit for use intended? (yes/no) All installers trained in working at heights? (yes/no) Are all harness and other safety equipment working correctly? (yes/no) All work carried out should be in accordance with all relevant good pratices and or current building stand- ards. All current regulations should be followed in relation to working at heights. Nothing stated in this guide takes pre- sedence over current standards. Condition of Roof What are the centres of roof rafters where solar collector is to be mounted (eg 400mm)? (mm) What is the size of roof rafters (eg 6x2”, 7x2”, 8x2”)? (inch) Are roof rafters cross braced? (yes/no) Is any of the timber showing discolouration (indicating rot)? (yes/no) To determine the total load on the roof you must get the total weight of the collectors and divide this weight by the number of roof fixing bolts or anchors used to hold the collector on the roof. This will give you the weight of the solar panels on each point of the roof.
- Page 7 Ensure that all wires are not in direct connection with any un-insulated pipe work or plant that could cause a (confirm) risk of burning Legionella / Bacterial Growth Ensure that there is no dead legs in the existing plumbing system that could induce the growth of legionella. (confirm) Ensure that the stats controlling the boiler and the stat controlling the immersion are set to 60 °C or above. (confirm) Ensure that the client understands the risk of legionella and the standard procedures for reducing the risk (confirm) of it forming. Also ensure that the client understands that you are their to install a solar thermal system and that you do not take any responsibility for auditing their hot water system for risk of legionnella forming. That you will endeavour to minimise the risk of it forming by the work that you carry out but any existing risk should be dealt with a certified professional. NAVITAS IN-ROOF installation manual...

Page 44: Pump Station
Pump Station The Joule product range offers both a single stream and a dual stream pump station. The flow rate required on a system is typically 1 litre per minute, per square metre installed. Therefore a 2-12 litre pump station will be sufficient for systems up to 12m². 1. Insulating box (back) in EPP 2. Safety unit consisting of: manometer 0/10 bar, solar safety valves cali- brated to 6 bars, 3/4” connection for expansion vessel 3. Security clips 4. Shutoff valves with integrated thermometers and check-valves 5. Solar pump 6. Visual flow balancing valve with filling and drain group 7. Hose connection 8. Insulating EPP box (cover) Connections of flow and return pipe work to the pump station are made vis the ¾” flat face thread connection on all points apart from the connection directly underneath the pump. This connection is to be made with 22mm smooth tube. When locating the pump station consideration should be given to future access for maintenance. -

If the distance between the collector and heat store is short (>5m) then running extra pipe work over and back inside the attic space to increase the linear distance between pump station and collectors is recommended.

Page 46: Electrical Solar Controller
In order to protect the normal operation of the control panel, it should be located at least 100 mm from in- sulated pipes which may become hot during operation. Control panels use PT1000 sensors containing twin core copper cable with a 0.75mm cross section. The sen- sors supplied are 1.5 metres in length. Sensor cables can be extended with twin core copper cable of 0.75mm diameter up to 50 metres and 1.50mm diameter between 50-100m. Screened cable should be used on the sensor cables to prevent RFI from electrical cables. All connections to extend the cables should be housed in a junction box for protection. The following diagrams show the connection of the solar pump and other relays on the Joule range of controllers. This should be read in conjunction with the Installation and Operation Manual supplied with each Joule control panel. - Page 47 NAVITAS IN-ROOF installation manual...

Page 52: Servicing And Maintenance
Servicing and Maintenance Users should regularly check the temperatures which the solar control panel is re- cording. With the SC range of controllers, simply pressing the ‘SET’ button on the fascia once will display the upper and lower collector temperatures since the control panel was last reset. - Page 53 Upon Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5 Year 6 Year 7 comissioning Date of inspection Expansion vessel setting before filling System pressure Expansion vessel setting before filling Flow rate Antifreeze level pH reading Inspection of barium get- ter on tubes Engineer details Print name Sign Telephone No. NAVITAS IN-ROOF installation manual...
