3.2 The installation shall conform to all federal,
state and local regulations, codes, ordinances and
standards governing solar water heating system
installations, and the contractor shall adhere to sound
building safety and trade practices. Special consid-
eration must be given to building code requirements
for the penetration of structural members and fire
rated assemblies.
3.3 The solar collector must be located in a
structurally sound area of the roof that will be
unshaded for the majority of the day all year round.
Adjacent buildings and trees should be checked for
possible winter shading. An instrument such as the
Solar Pathfinder can be used for solar site analysis.
(Solar Pathfinder can be reached at www.solarpath-
finder.com).
3.4 Before the installation the contractor shall
inspect the condition of the roof and notify the hom-
eowner of any existing roof damage or necessary
repairs.
3.5 The homeowner and contractor shall confirm the
location of all roof and ground mounted components
in advance of the installation.
4) INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS –
SPECIFIC
4.1 Location, Orientation and Tilt
Depending upon the SunSiphon model purchased,
the solar storage tank weighs between 523 and 1,232
pounds when completely filled with water. The
most important structural consideration is to mount
the solar storage tank at a right angle to the rafters
no more than 3’ from the roof peak. Span as many
rafters as possible. The tank should be located over
a load bearing interior wall.
Do not proceed with the installation unless the roof
members can safely support the wet weight of the
solar storage tank. Consult your local building code
for structural requirements before beginning the
installation.
