3.2 Shipment and storage
- during shipment the collector connectors are protected by rubber caps,
- the collectors should be stored in a dry place. If the collectors are stored outside they
should be protected from atmospheric agents.
3.3 Technical documentation
Solar installation set consists of different components. Before installing any of them you
should become familiar with an adequate instruction. Installation instructions are attached
to a given device or piece of equipment.
- installation instruction for solar collectors,
- installation instruction for a pump group,
- installation instruction for a solar controller,
- installation instruction hot water tank.
3.4 Tools and additional equipment
- level gauge,
- harness with a safety cable (for work at heights),
- scaffolding, a roof ladder or a crane.
3.5 Collector location
Potential quantity of the absorber radiation depends on a proper location of the absorber in
relations to incident rays. Collector surface horizontal position to radiation is an optimum
manner.
Recommended location of a collector:
- inclination angle:
40 – 45
o
for yearlong installations
approx. 30
o
for installations used during summer
approx. 60
o
for installations used during winter
- positioning of a collector in the southern direction (or approximate to the southern direction).
Collectors recommended, optimal angle of inclination ranges from 30° to 75°.
The admissible inclination angle of collectors ranges from 15° to 90°. It is recommended to
install collectors on a south-facing roofs. During installation, particular attention should be paid
to protection of the collectors against strong winds.
The admissible snow and wind load amount is max. 2,0 kN/m².
A collector field should be located in a manner that the absorber will not be shadowed by the
