The suitable positions are as follows:
The highest hole (tip) is for areas 25-35° latitude (inclination 25°)
The middle hole is for areas 30-40° latitude (inclination 30°)
The lowest hole for areas 35-50° latitude. (inclination 35°)
b) If however maximum efficiency is of no concern for the whole year and enhanced efficiency is
required during the summer (which will result in decreased efficiency during the winter) move
the support points A (photo 2) one hole higher than the proper place which is described earlier.
This can be applied in the case of hotel installations, specifically for hotels which are fully
booked during the summer and are either closed or have very few guests during the winter.
If on the other hand enhanced efficiency is required during the winter (resulting in decreased
efficiency during the summer) then the support points A are moved one hole below the proper
hole.
After adjusting the product’s inclination, the collector must have a south facing position if your
location is in the northern hemisphere or a north facing position if your location is in the southern
hemisphere.
