Introduction
Solar hot water systems should be designed and sized correctly before commencing
the installation. Proper design will ensure that a system is correctly sized to provide
many years of optimised performance and most or all of the required hot water when
the most solar radiation is available. However a supplementary heating system such
as oil or gas boiler, heat pump or wood boiler is required for months which have less
solar radiation. This guide will illustrate and explain how a system should be installed
to conform to the Joule manufacturer guidelines for the Vissolis product models. Us-
ing this guide Stages of a solar installation are described in the following pages, with
illustrations where necessary to explain how to install the relevant components, and
contains general recommendations and important safety information.
Handling Guidance
• Tube and manifold boxes should be transported horizontally.
• Heavy goods should not be loaded on top of the kit boxes.
• Care should be taken when opening boxes to prevent scratches or sudden shocks
to the glass.
• Do not use sharp objects to open the tube boxes.
Installation Guidance
• Unpack and install tubes only after the manifold and pipe work has been installed.
• Do not leave the solar collector exposed to solar radiation when the solar loop and
manifold have been drained. Collectors left exposed in a dry state must be cov-
ered to prevent possible long term damage.
• Tubes must have a minimum elevation of 20˚ and a maximum of 70˚.
• The pipework of the solar collector loop is to be earthed and the collector is to be
lightening protected in accordance to local regulations.
A solar panel installation must be performed in accordance with all Health & Safety
legislation and local building/planning regulations for the relevant jurisdiction. Further-
more, the necessary electrical work required to install control equipment should be
undertaken by a qualified electrical contractor.
