Pre-Assembled Rhino - Installation Manual
Determine the roof(s) where the panels will be installed, taking into consideration the space, orientation, roof
protrusions and shading. The selected roof(s) should be exposed to the sun for most of the day, with minimal
shading or obstructions. The best orientation depending on your hemisphere as outlined in the following table:
Roof shading from trees, other buildings or obstacles must be considered when selecting a suitable roof
installation site. However, a degree of shading can be compensated by installing a greater quantity of panels.
Determine how the Rhino Solar panels will fit on the roof(s) and select an appropriate panel configuration. The
most common and preferred configuration is in a continuous row. Remember to plan for any roof obstructions
when selecting a Rhino panel configuration.
Select the appropriately sized Rhino Solar panel(s) to suit your desired configuration and mounting location.
Use larger panels where possible to minimise panel connections, lower installation time and reduce costs.
Before undertaking any work, it is important to prepare a detailed Schematic Drawing/Diagram outlining the
position and dimensions of the panel(s), Supply and Return pipe work in relation to the roof surface and pool
location.
