SAFETY
ATTENTION
Falls from heights can result in serious injury or death
Full attention must be paid to safe working practices at all times.
Solar heating systems are usually installed on an elevated
structure and unless you have the appropriate safety equipment
for working at heights, you should employ someone with
experience and equipment to complete the installation for you.
SOLAR LOCATION
When choosing the appropriate roof to position the solar collectors, the following
important things need to be considered:
1. Roof Orientation
The ideal roof in the Southern hemisphere varies slightly depending on location
but as a rule of thumb a North, West or flat roof is acceptable.
2. Shade
Try to avoid positioning the solar collectors on a roof that is going to be shaded
heavily throughout the day. The best solar gains are made three hours either
side of solar noon, 9am - 3pm or 10am - 4pm during day light savings for a
North facing roof. Shading outside these hours will have minimal effect on the
overall performance.
If they are going to be shaded at some time during the day, then a larger
collector can be fitted to compensate.
3. Position Solar Close to Pool Equipment
Shorter pipe runs require less pumping power and reduce installation costs.
Long runs up to 50 metres have minimal effects on solar performance.
4. Size Of Roof
Will the solar system fit on the roof? This has to be established from the ground
or a ladder with OH & S Regulations preventing access to the roof without a
harness or rail system. A quick measurement in most cases can be taken at
ground level.
