Normally, collectors are installed on roofs, as close as possible to the tank, to minimize heat loss through the pipe. The pipes between
the tank and the collectors MUST be insulated with at least ¾” thick insulation, for the same reason. Check local codes for well
thickness in your area.
The solar collectors must be located in a structurally sound area of the roof that will be exposed to the sun for the majority of the day,
all year round. A solar pathfinder can be used for solar site analysis.
The recommended angle of the collectors is equal to the location’s LATITUDE. This angle is designed to maximize solar absorption
annually. For increased energy production in
winter
months, the collector angle can be increased up to +15 degrees from latitude.
For increased
summer
energy production, decrease collector angle up to - 15 degrees from latitude. A variation of +/- 15 degrees is
acceptable. The orientation of the collectors must be due south ± 55 degrees. Flush mounts on available roof slopes are recommended
to allow convenience and cost effectiveness, since these variations from the exact angle and orientation will affect the system’s
performance only by about 5%.
