8.0 TRANSPORT AND STORAGE OF SOLAR COLLECTORS
Solar collectors should always be stored indoors.
Please follow the below guidelines when transporting and storing solar system components:
•
CPK7210-N Flat Panel collectors can be transported and stored horizontally or vertically and can be
stacked on top of each other (up to the manufacturer’s prescribed limit).
•
CVSKC-10 Vacuum Tube collectors should only be transported and stored in a vertical position.
•
TZ58-1800 Heat Pipe Solar collectors should remain in their respective boxes in normal storage
position during transport and storage.
•
Cylinders should be transported and stored vertically.
•
All other solar system components should be stored in a clean, dry, frost free environment until
ready for installation.
Heavy goods should never be loaded on top of solar collectors or kit boxes.
Parts should be inspected for damage on arrival to the site and any damage or loss should be reported to the
supplier. Care should be taken when opening kits to prevent scratches or sudden shocks to the collectors and
sharp objects should not be used to open the packaging.
