Please note that the system will always perform well from an air flow point of view if, for physical
reasons, the rows must be placed closer to one another. However, the energetic performance of
the system will be lessened proportionally to the shaded areas of the collectors during the period
near the solstice.
3.6 Choosing the collectors’ location
Sometimes, building roofs are completely free of equipment. However, in many cases, equipment
destined for ventilation or processes is positioned on an existing rooftop; heating units, exhaust
air stacks, fresh air intakes, exhaust fans, etc. It becomes important to note where the Luba
GL
collectors will be able to be installed. It is also important to be able to orient the collectors on an
east-west axis in order to expose the collector’s surface as much towards the south or south-east
as possible.
