2.
It is recommended to lock the center of each bank in place, so as to spread thermal
expansion and contraction evenly between both sides. To lock the center panel of a
bank, position the mounting pads on that panel adjacent to the left and right of
one
of
the header ribs. Attach with a lag bolt.
MOUNTING PANELS USING S ROOF MOUNTING PADS
Important:
Never "lock" more than one position on a bank, as this could result in damage
to the system due to thermal expansion and contraction.
Note:
Since the panels should slope slightly down toward the feed end of the array, for proper
drainage, the chalk line should also slope down in this direction, approximately 2cm per 5m (1" to 2").
1
Draw a chalk line across the roof or
rack indicating where you want the top
edge of the collectors to be located.
2
Position a stainless steel/Anodized Aluminum or wooden
profile across the line you just marked and drill it into place.
Apply adequate sealant to prevent leaks to the roof. This will
ensure the panels' breathing holes are open, eliminating the
possibility of water ingress into the glazing.
4
The remaining Top S Mounting Pads should
be spaced out evenly along the chalk line,
approximately every 60 cm (2').
3
Thread all Top S Mounting Pads on the
track of every second module
(two for each
collector)
