Installation – Collectors
Please ensure that sufcient roof space
is available to install the solar collectors
in the desired location.
Please allow the following roof space for
collector installation
2 collector panels – 3 meters wide • ×
3 meters high.
3 collector panels – 4.5 meters wide •
× 3 meters high
It is not advisable to install collectors
on roof spaces that are smaller than
described.
Solar Collector Installation
Note: Do not commence an installation
until you have satised yourself that all
Safety issues associated with working
on and lifting components onto a roof
have been addressed.
Important: All work associated with
the installation must comply with local
authority regulations including AS/
NZS 3500.4.2. Where these installation
instructions and local regulations are in
conict, local regulations must prevail.
Solar Collector Location Selection
There are ve major factors to consider in
selecting the solar collector location site.
For optimum performance, the solar 1.
collectors need to face the equator
(in Australia this is north). Due to the
high solar energy levels experienced
in Australia, installations on angles
of up to 45° away from north will
not have a major effect on the
annual solar output. Consequently
installations up to 45° away
from north are acceptable. If the
collectors are installed with an east
facing bias, the best solar input is
achieved in the morning and if there
is a west facing bias, the best solar
input is in the afternoon.
Careful site inspection is required to 2.
ensure the selected location is not
subjected to shading from adjacent
trees or buildings at any time of the
day, but particularly between 9am
and 3pm, the highest solar input
times. You must remember that
shadows are longer in winter than
in summer, so a site that is free of
shadows from adjacent objects in
summer may have some shadows
in winter.
