INSTALLATION ON A SLOPED ROOF
Never remove the protective sheet if you have not finished installing the panel,
and if the collector has not been filled. The “
EGO
” solar collector with integrated storage
was not designed to be exposed to sunlight when empty.
Do not move or force the system using the threaded connections or the caps.
Place and position
Carefully check the state of the cover and the supporting structure. Get
a structural technician to check the maximum loads of the building, considering the weight
of the system when full as a permanent load, as per the UNI EN 1991 (Eurocode)
verifications.
Prefer the slope that faces south. Alternatively, the system works in a satisfactory manner
when positioned on a roof slope that is positioned slightly to the south-east/south-west.
Choose an installation area where the panel remains in the sunlight for as long as possible.
Nearby obstacles (trees, buildings, etc...) can temporarily shade the system and reduce
(even greatly) its yield.
For correct operation, install the collector at an angle of no less than 15°; the
collector must, in any case, be against the slope, therefore follow the angle of the roof.
The collector must always have its longest side parallel to the roof eaves. Do not install the
collector with its short side parallel to the eaves.
