Permissible loads
▶ Only install collectors in locations with values lower than those shown
in the following. If required, consult a structural engineer.
Table 12 Maximum loads for the installation set
(with reference to DIN EN 1991, parts 3 and 4)
When determining the maximum wind speed, take the following factors
into account:
• Location of the thermal solar system
• Geographical height of the terrain
• Topography (terrain/buildings)
• Height of building
The maximum snow load is calculated using regional zones (snow load
zones) and the ground level elevation.
▶ Enquire about the locally applicable snow loads
(
e.g. technical guide).
Permissible roof connections
▶ Collectors: use roof hooks or double-ended screws.
▶ Storage tanks: only double-ended screws are permissible.
▶ Only screw double ended screws into a substructure with sufficient
load bearing capacity.
Corrosion protection
All supplied components are protected against corrosion through either
the material (e.g. aluminium, plastic) or coatings.
▶ Only use materials on site that can withstand local weather
conditions.
The potable water area in the storage tank is protected against corrosion
through enamel coating and a magnesium anode. To maintain this
protection:
▶ Observe the maintenance intervals and instructions in the
"Maintenance, inspection" section.
2.7
Recommendations for energy savings
▶ Install the DHW mixing valve as close as possible to the storage tank
(
section "Hydraulic connection" for system examples).
▶ When using an immersion heater:
– Only connect the immersion heater to the mains power supply
when insufficient solar exposure is expected (e.g. during winter,
at night).
– Disconnect the immersion heater from the mains power supply
when solar exposure is sufficient or during absences (e.g.
holidays).
– Use a timer or similar to ensure appropriate use of the immersion
heater.
– Set the temperature as low as possible.
▶ To be able to use as much solar-heated water as possible, draw hot
water only after the sun has peaked (midday).
▶ Connect dishwashers and washing machines (if suitable) to the DHW
pipe and where possible use these between 15:00 and 18:00.
▶ Position the thermosiphon system so that the DHW pipe is as short as
possible. Ensure the DHW pipe is very well insulated.

Regulations
▶ Observe updated regulations or supplements. These regulations also
apply at the time of installation.
▶ Observe all standards and guidelines applicable to the installation
and operation of the system in your country and region.
Technical regulations applicable for the installation of collectors
• Rooftop installation:
– DIN EN 1991: Actions on structures
• Connection of thermal solar systems:
– EN 12976: Thermal solar systems and components
(factory-made systems)
– EN 12977: Thermal solar systems and components
(custom-built systems)
• Electrical connection:
– DIN EN 62305 Part 3 / VDE 0185-305-3: Protection against
lightning, physical damage to structures and life hazard
Technical rules for the installation of DHW cylinders
• DIN EN 12897: Water supply – specification for storage water
heaters (product standard)
• DIN EN 1717: Protection against pollution of potable water
installations
• DIN EN 806: Technical rules for potable water installations

Before installation
4.1
General notes
CAUTION:
Risk of burning from hot components!
The collector and installation materials can become very hot after being
exposed to solar radiation for prolonged periods of time.
▶ Wear personal protective equipment.
▶ Protect the collector and installation material from solar exposure.
We recommend that you engage the services of a roofing contractor, as
they are experienced in working on roofs and will be aware of the risk of
falling.
▶ Obtain information about on-site conditions and local regulations.
▶ Avoid potential shading.
▶ Whenever possible, align collectors so they are facing the midday
sun.
