D. South/North Roof Mounts
Most homes have a south facing roof. This roof area should be utilized for the collector
location unless there are shade or aesthetic problems. Follow the guidelines in Section
VI Collector Orientation, while taking into consideration the appearance of the system on
the home. Homeowners prefer systems that are not obtrusive and blend in with the
general architectural lines of the home.
Either the Fixed Mount or Flush Mount hardware systems are used for this situation.
The collector is installed parallel to the plane of the roof and the edge of the collector
should be in parallel with the roof ridgeline. The Fixed Mount system raises the
collector approximately 2.5 inches above the roof to allow air to circulate under the
collector and to prevent debris from accumulating along the top of the collector. If using
