3.4 Assemble the solar collector on your sloping roof
3.4.1 Sloping roof
If your roof is sloping, mounting straps will be a useful accessory. You can buy them from us or you could also make
them by yourself in a similar shape or function. Please make sure they are strong enough. Our mounting straps are
made of SUS304 stainless steel with a 1mm thickness.

Installation steps:
a)
Select a suitable location on the roof for the collector. In the northern hemisphere, the collector should face due
south, at an angle to the ground equal to the latitude. For example, latitude of 49 degrees would use a collector
angle of about 49 degrees, plus 10 degrees to give best heating in winter.
b) Put the solar collector on the roof to choose some points to anchor the screws. These screws are used to fix the
mounting straps on the roof. Remove roof tiles at the corners of an area large enough to fit the collector.
c) Bend the mounting straps according to the height of the tiles and the location of the long-round hole on the
vertical straps. Bend the mounting straps through the gap of two tiles, and secure it to the roof supports using
the screws. Secure all remaining all mounting straps in this way. After that, put solar collector on the roof and
adjust the location so that you can fix vertical bar to the bent mounting straps using screws. Bolt the solar
collector vertical bar frame to the mounting straps. (See Fig 3.10~3.13).
