Collector description
REGULUS KPC1 BP Flat Plate Solar Collectors are
designed for solar domestic hot water heating (DHW),
backup- and pool heating with solar energy. Solar radiati-
on penetrates the glass and is intercepted by an ef
fi ci-
ent absorption layer applied on an all copper absorber.
The heat is then transferred into heat transfer
fl uid. The
absorber is sealed in a compact frame with high quality
thermal insulation. The collectors are designed for year
round operation, that’s why they work in a separate pri-
mary circuit
fi lled with antifreeze heat carrier.
The collectors are
not intended
for direct water
heating. If different heat transfer fl uid is used
than speci fi ed by the manufacturer, irreversible
damage to the collector may be done.
Transport, handling and storing
Collectors shall be transported in their original packing,
in upright position (standing on their shorter side) or lying
horizontal with glass upwards, stack of max. 10 pieces
on a pallet.
During handling the collector glass shall be always
facing upwards.
Please check the condition of the collector upon recepti-
on from your supplier or forwarder. Later claimed mecha-
nical damage (frame, glass, connection) will be refused.
When stored, the collector shall not be exposed to rain
and its absorber exposed to solar radiation.

General instructions for installation
The installation and commissioning must be done by a
trained worker or a specialized company.
During installation and before commissioning, it is
necessary to cover collectors in order to avoid overhea-
ting and possible burn injury to the installer.
Prior to installation, conditions set by the roo
fi ng manu-
facturer and the max. permissible roof load shall be
checked.
Mounting method for solar collectors shall always
respect local conditions, i.e. roof inclination and weather
in
fl uence on the overall load on the collector. Kindly con-
sult the fi xing method with a structural statics expert.
During installation the collectors and accessories shall
be handled carefully. Defects caused by improper hand-
ling or DIY installation are not cover by warranty.
Generally valid rules and standards for occupational
safety shall be respected during installation. This con-
cerns mainly technicians walking on a roof and the secu-
ring the area against objects falling down from a roof.
Only REGULUS
fi xing elements may be used. Other
fi xing elements may be used only with a written approval
from REGULUS company.
Collectors shall not be exposed to solar radiation un-
til commissioned. The absorption surface may get
damaged.
Collectors shall be installed and operated in compliance
with this Manual and with respective generally valid rules
and norms.
Collector placing
The collector must be placed outdoors. The glass
absorption surface should be orientated to South, with
deviations not over 45° (Southwest or Southeast). For a
year round operation the right inclination angle is 40°-
50°, for summer operation smaller inclination is better
(30°). The collector may be placed also vertically (90°
inclination, e.g. on a façade) which is ideal for winter
operation. If placed at an angle of 75°-90°, suitable
measures shall be taken to prevent water entering its air
vents.
Collectors shall be installed with the sheath upwards as
marked.
A collector inclination shall not be less than 20°.
On inclined roofs it is recommended to install
solar collectors as close to the roof ridge as
possible. Should this solution be impossible,
then protections against snow slide shall be installed
above the collectors.
