1.0 Introduction

 

 

 

 

The SolarSheat 1000GS, and 1500GS are modular solar collectors designed for 
supplemental room heating. Interior air is drawn though the SolarSheat, heated up and 
pushed back into the adjoining room. The 1000GS & 1500GS systems are self-powered 
and do not require any external electrical power, whereas the 1500GS collectors are 
designed to work with either the 1500GS (two-pak) or an A/C powered fan system.

 

 

This manual covers the roof stand installation of the 1000GS and 1500GS solar collector 
models.

 

 

2.1 General installation

 

 

 

 

The successful operation of the SolarSheat solar collector depends entirely on the proper 
installation and maintenance as outlined in this manual. Prior to installation please read the 
installation instructions completely. The installation of the SolarSheat roof stand should 
comply with all local building codes, permits and OSHA requirements. The SolarSheat can be 
installed into new construction projects or retrofitted to existing buildings.
