3.4 Installing the solar panel components
Notes for safe and trouble-free operation
• For solar panels with connections on same side (up to 3 solar panels permitted), the lower edges of all the solar panels must
be absolutely horizontal.
• Mount the solar panel array with a gradient to the lower solar panel coupling (return flow).
• The entire run of the connection pipe between the solar panels and the storage tank must always have a continuous gradient
to prevent siphon action.
The upper edge of the solar panels may not be more than 12 m above the storage tank(s) mounting floor level.
DANGER!
There is increased risk when working on a roof.
• Installation work on the roof may only be carried out by authorised and trained persons (heating
technicians, roofers, etc.) under observance of the relevant Accident Prevention Regulations.
• Material and tools must be secured from falling off.
• Barriers must be erected to prevent persons from entering the area below the roof where the work is being
carried out.
WARNING!
After their packaging is removed, the solar panels will become hot very quickly if they are exposed to the sun's
rays.
• Wear protective gloves.
• Remove the protective caps (they are not temperature resistant).
CAUTION!
Frost or overheating can damage the system.
• Permit the system to drain. Make sure that the solar panels are installed so that their lower edge is always
higher than the feed coupling of the Solaris storage container.
