Electricity and gas are the two options for the AES system. The most suitable AES system type used is made at the time of purchase from the EAGLESUN™ dealer. For electric AES systems the electricity supply electric element within the storage tank is automatically controlled by an internal thermostat which will only allow the electric element to operate if the storage tank water temperature falls below 120°F and will even then, only consume electricity until the water temperature is increased to 120°F then turns... -

System Maintenance The EAGLESUN™ system is designed such that there is little to do regarding system maintenance. Personally inspecting or servicing the system is not recommended. Should you decide to personally inspect the roof mounted system it is essential that you use all safety devices required to ensure your safety. Glass cleaning usually occurs by natural rainfall, however if the installation is in an industrial (or similar) area with high levels of airborne particles then a qualified person can clean the collector glass with normal window cleaning chemicals and equipment. -

Page 8: Location Selection
Location Selection There are five major factors to consider when selecting the solar water heater installation location; For optimum performance the solar collectors need to face the equator (in Southern hemisphere this is north and in the Northern hemisphere this is South). Installation on angles of up to 45° away from the equator do not have a major effect on the annual solar output, consequently roof locations which face less than 45°... - Page 9 J-bolt Mounting Detail Spanner mounting – Spanner mounting is by far the most common method of installation. Steel angle or wood 2” x 4”’s are used to span between the truss members. Two spacer blocks are required when the threaded rod is 2” or more from the truss member. Only one spacer block is required when the threaded rod is within 1”...
- Page 10 Place the collector into position with the upper-left mounting foot centered over the newly drilled hole and align the collector to be square with the roof. Using the installed mount clips as a template, mark the position of the remaining mount holes on the roof tiles then set the collector aside.
