CONTROL COMPONENT DETAILS
Photovoltaic (PV) panel: Place the PV panel on the
same plane as the collector. If you have a tilt kit you
may need to fabricate a tilt assembly for the PV panel.
Attach the PV panel to the brackets with the supplied
nuts and as shown.
Screw brackets to roof with supplied long Tec Screws.
Seal the roof penetrations with a quality sealant.
Wire nuts are supplied to connect the PV wire to the
supplied wire, which then goes to the switch. We
recommend going through the switch, breaking one
wire for the switch and going out about 6” so the PV
wire can be connected to the Pump wire with wire nuts.
This way the Pump is easier to disconnect and service.
PV Wire:
DO NOT ALLOW THE PV WIRE TO TOUCH THE PIPE! IT WILL
MELT AND SHORT OUT!
Drill a small hole under the panel, run the PV wire most of
the way through it, seal with calk (lifting a shingle a little before drilling can help) and put
PV panel in place over it.
Pump Connections: The PV panel wire is simply attached to a 14 to 18 gauge wire
(supplied with full system) using wire nuts. It is then attached to the switch, which in turn
is connected to the 12 Volt pump using wire nuts.
As mentioned, we recommend going through the switch, breaking one wire for the switch
and going out about 6” so the PV wire can be connected to the Pump wire with wire nuts.
This way the Pump is easier to disconnect and service.
The on off switch is usually attached to an insulated pipe near the pump using tie wraps.
Long Tec Screws, go through the
PV bracket and into Roof. Be sure
to put a dab of calk under the
bracket where the Tec screw will go
through the roof.
The PV brackets are bolted to the PV panel through existing holes in the frame of the PV panel with the
supplied bolts, washers and nuts.
