Foreword

This manual is intended to be used in conjunction with other literature 

provided with the Evacuated Tube Solar Collector. This includes all 

related control information. It is important that this manual, all other 

documents included with this system, and additional publications, 

such as 

Solar Water Heating System Design and Installation Guidelines, 

SRCC OG-300

, be reviewed in their entirety before beginning any work.

Installation should be made in accordance with the regulations of 

the Authority Having Jurisdiction, local code authorities, and utility 

companies which pertain to this type of water heating equipment.
Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) – The Authority Having Jurisdiction 

may be a federal, state, local government, or individual such as a fire 

chief, fire marshal, chief of a fire prevention bureau, labor department 

or health department, building official or electrical inspector, or others 

having statutory authority. In some circumstances, the property owner 

of his/her agent assumes the role, and at government installations, the 

commanding officer or departmental official may be the AHJ.

NOTE:

 HTP reserves the right to modify product technical specifications 

and components without prior notice.

For the Installer

INSTALLATION OR SERVICE OF THESE SOLAR PANELS IS REQUIRED TO BE 

PERFORMED BY LICENSED PROFESSIONALS WHERE SOLAR, PLUMBING, 

AND ELECTRICAL WORK IS REQUIRED.
The installer should be guided by the instructions furnished with 

the tank, as well as local codes and utility company requirements. 

Preference should be given to codes and requirements where they 

differ from the furnished instructions.
Additional publications which should guide the installer include:
