STRUCTURAL CHECK 

 
The 

“EGO”

  solar  collector  with  integrated  storage  can  be  placed  on  the  ground  or  on  a 

structure (attic, covering, balcony, etc...) that can support the device weight and dynamic 
actions  caused  by  variable  things  (e.g.  wind,  snow,...),  considered  with  the  presence  of 

“EGO”

 solar collector with integrated storage. 

 

 

In the case of already-existing buildings in particular, all combinations 

of  the  static  capacity  of  the  structural  elements  and  anchors  used  must  be  carefully 
evaluated, according to what is indicated in the technical standards for construction (NTC 
2008, in Italy), or the Eurocodes (EN 1991, in Europe). This check must be carried out by a 
structural technician who is authorised to work in the installation area. 
 
Be very careful of the load increase caused by snow or strong wind. The manufacturer is 
not  responsible  for  damage  to  things  or  injury  to  people  caused  by  bad  installation  on 
structures that cannot support the indicated loads.
