12 PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION
Select the best possible orientation for the solar collectors
(ideally facing south). Avoid positions that are shaded by
plants, trees, buildings or hills, etc. during the day.
In the case of sloping roof installations, choose the side
that is most exposed to the sun and install the collector/s
at the roof’s own pitch angle and orientation to ensure that
the collector/s blend in architecturally.
Maintain the minimum distance (A) between the system
and the edge of the roof.
Remove all gravel and detritus from the surface on which
the system is to be installed.
Do not use flat roof or sloping roof mounting frames to
install any other equipment. They are designed only for
use with
B
solar water heating systems.
The installation of a solar water heating system modifies
the existing structure of the roof. Verify the suitability of all
roof elements and if necessary adapt them to avoid leaks
or damage by wind and/or snow loads.
