Collector description
REGULUS KPS1 Flat Solar Collectors are designed for
solar domestic hot water heating (DHW), support- and
pool heating with solar energy. Solar radiation pene-
trates the glass and is intercepted by an efficient absorp-
tion layer applied on an aluminium absorber. The heat
is then transferred into heat transfer fluid. 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 primary
circuit filled with antifreeze heat carrier.
The collectors are not intended for direct water
heating. If different heat transfer fluid is used
than specified 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 fac-
ing upwards.
Please check the condition of the collector upon re-
ception from your supplier or forwarder. Later claimed
mechanical 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 nec-
essary to cover collectors in order to avoid overheating
and possible burn injury to the installer.
Prior to installation, conditions set by the roofing man-
ufacturer and the max. permissible roof load shall be
checked.
Mounting method for solar collectors shall always
respect local conditions, i.e. roof inclination and weath-
er influence on the overall load on the collector. Kindly
consult the fixing method with a structural statics expert.
During installation the collectors and accessories shall
be handled carefully. Defects caused by improper han-
dling 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 se-
curing the area against objects falling down from a roof.
Only REGULUS fixing elements may be used. Other
fixing elements may be used only with a written approval
by REGULUS company.
Collectors shall not be exposed to solar radiation until
commissioned. The absorption surface may get dam-
aged.
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 an outer wall) which is ideal for winter
operation.
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 protec-
tions against snow slide shall be installed above
the collectors.
The numbers of roof anchors shown in the Mounting Kits
for Fixing and Connecting Regulus Solar Collectors are
designed for the following load:
Max. permissible snow and wind load ≤
1,8 kN/m
2
Max. permissible wind load - negative pressure
≤ 1,0 kN/m
2
The customer/user shall be informed about this fact prior
to starting installation of a solar system. If a higher load
than shown above is expected in the area in question, a
statics expert shall be consulted and more roof anchors
designed, or other measures taken that would ensure
safe collector fixing. Regulus refuses any responsibility
for damage caused by wrong design of collector fixing.
Lightning protection
Lightning protection is obligatory for solar systems.
When installed on a roof, collectors must be wired
to lightning protection equipment. Czech norm ČSN EN
62 305 shall be observed.For other countries check with
local authorities.
