Must be performed by an authorized service technician/service shop for such operations.
DANGER of slipping.
In most cases, collectors are installed in hardly accessible and dangerous
places. We recommend that installation and service maintenance be carried out by an
authorized service technician observing all safety measures.
Danger of burns
during installation and maintenance of solar collector:
We recommend the use of protective equipment, gloves, eyewear (goggles), and clothing.
Installation and servicing of collectors should be carried out in early morning hours. While the
collectors are still cold you can cover them with tarpaulin to avoid their heating by direct
sunlight.
Recommendations:
The collectors can be installed in places where the values for:
wind load Vm (mean wind speed) does not exceed 150 km/h and
snow loads Sk (weight of snow mass) does not exceed 1,25 kN/m,
according to ENV 1991-1-3 and 1991-1-4.
Recommended orientation: Facing the equator
Recommended mounting angle: 10 ° ÷ 90 ° according to collector application.
Collector application
Recommended mounting angle
Domestic Hot Water /DWG+pool
30°÷45°
Domestic Hot Water + Central Heating /
DWG+CH+pool
45°÷60°
Avoid shading from neighboring buildings, trees, collectors etc.
The applicable minimum clearances in your country may
differ from the ones specified bellow.
Please, consult your installer. The minimum distance
from the collector construction to roof end must be at
least 1 meter;
The collector should be positioned as close as possible to
the DWG /CH consumer to minimize heat loss. Efficiency
heat transfer pipes insulation is recommended.
Collector support must be grounded to the buiding
grounding system.
Installation of collector on a special support must be in
one single plane.
