- Page 4 Normally, collectors are installed on roofs, as close as possible to the tank, to minimize heat loss through the pipe. The pipes between the tank and the collectors MUST be insulated with at least ½” thick insulation, for the same reason. The solar collectors must be located in a structurally sound area of the roof that will be exposed to the sun for the majority of the day, all year round.
- Page 5 be spaced approximately 30” apart. The collectors will rest on top of the U-channels. (Picture 1) Picture #1 Verify a secure connection to the trusses. If lagging directly into the roof trusses is not possible, secure a 2’ x 4’ wood beam perpendicular to the trusses, inside the attic, and anchor the bolts to this member.

- Not parallel to the roofline, normally used on flat roofs and NGLE OUNT NSTALLATION ground mounts, as illustrated below. Figure #2, Angle mounted collector Angle Mount Installations involve positioning the collector(s) at an angle so that the upper part of the collector is higher than the lower in reference to the mounting surface. - Page 7 Picture #8 Figure #4 Connect to the U-channels to the opposite side of the rod, using the provided nuts and bolts. (Picture #10) Picture #10 Lift the collector’s top with the assembled rod kits and anchor the U-channels to the roof, ensuring the proper angle to the collectors.
- Page 8 NSTALLATION Careful consideration of the proper piping of the system should be done prior to a final decision being made on the collector mounting. The collectors and piping should slope slightly downward, toward the tank, in order to allow for draining in freezing conditions. Piping should consist of copper tube (Type M), insulated with at least ½”...

LUMBING The storage tank should be placed in a location to best minimize heat loss. It should be placed as close to the system return line as possible. Adequate ventilation and access for possible future service work are important considerations. In order to prevent possible water damage in case of tank leakage, a pan with a ¾”... - Page 10 ABELS Label installation is mandatory at several locations of the system. Please insure compliance by affixing labels at the designated locations. YSTEM TART The Start-up Procedures are detailed in the Solene Open Loop (SLAR-HMDC) Homeowner’s Manual.
- Page 11 YSTEM PERATION Solene systems are designed to accommodate three separate modes of operation. Your solar water heating system can (1) provide 100% solar operation during good weather, or (2) serve as a pre-heater to your electric water heater adding solar energy when and as available, or (3) 100 % on utility power during inclement weather.

During near freezing conditions this valve will allow water to flow through the collector from the storage tank and trickle onto the roof.
