Solar Collector
Installation Manual
CARE, HANDLING & STORAGE
EnerWorks Solar Collectors are manufactured with tempered glass. Though extremely resistant to
impact, tempered glass can break if an edge is subjected to stress. During storage and installation,
protect glass edges. Glass breakage is not covered by warranty.
Store collectors in a dry place, lying flat with glass up, or leaning on long edge with glass facing out and
connections at top. Protect collector from scratches and damage by placing it on a soft surface such as a
blanket or cardboard. When hoisting collectors to roof, be very careful not to bang glass edge.
Collectors must not be levered over ladder or eave as they may be damaged. Be very careful of collector
connections as they are soft copper and may be easily damaged. A leak-proof heat-transfer fluid loop
can only be achieved if collector connections are not damaged.
Do not store collectors outside with glass face down. Due to EnerWorks’ patented stagnation-control
device, back of collector is not sealed to atmosphere. Rain may enter collector if it is stored face down.
Any damage due to ingress of water is not covered by warranty.
It is best to store both the EnerWorks Solar Collectors and the EnerWorks Energy Station in a cool, dry
place.
