3. Installation and maintenance 

 

3.1 Safety guidelines 

 

The installation must be implemented in accordance with European, National and Local standards in force 

pertaining to system safety, by qualified expert personnel. 

Qualified expert personnel refers to persons with specific technical skills in the sector pertaining to heating 

system components in civil applications and hot water production, as required by Italian Law No. 46/90 dated 

5/03/1993, Legislative Decree No. 37 dated 22/01/2008, subsequent updates and implementation Decrees. 

The manufacturer shall not bear any contractual or non-contractual liability for damage caused by errors in 

installation and use, and in any case deriving from non-compliance with European, National and Local Laws 

and Standards in force and instructions provided by the manufacturer. 

All safety standards must be complied with when installations are implemented on a roof, so as to safeguard 

the workers and persons, who during the works can be at risk due to falling objects or similar. 

Starting with the positioning of the ladder, this must rest against secure points and lean at an angle between 

65° and 75°. It must also be higher than at least 1 m from the landing point. The ladder must be secured in 

order not to slide, give-way and/or tip over. It is recommended to use rung ladders up to a height of 5 m. 

Passage-ways, areas where persons can stop and work stations that are beneath the area in question must 

be  protected  against  objects  that  can  fall.  Block,  close  off  and  mark  the  areas  that  present  hazardous 

situations for people. Protections is required starting from 3 m if the solar collectors are to be installed on a 

roof with an  inclination between  15° and  60°.  Fall  protection  can consist  of scaffolding,  assembled  with a 

max  difference  of  5  m  between  the  worktop  and  the  scaffolding  or  the  roof  protection  wall,  which  must 

protrude laterally a minimum of one metre on each side with respect to the work area. 

Should the scaffolding or the roof wall not be sufficient to guarantee a safe installation, safety harnesses can 

be used and these must be firmly anchored to solid construction parts, possibly above the user. 

 

3.2 Orientation of the collectors 

 

For  maximum  energy  performance  from  the  solar  collectors,  these  must  be  installed  with  the  sunlight 

absorbing surface facing the south. This orientation can be changed if the energy need is concentrated in the 

morning  (exposure  south-east)  or  in  the  afternoon  (exposure  south-west).  When  positioning  the  solar 

collectors,  verify  that  they  are  not  covered  by  shade  caused  by  other  buildings  or  trees,  when  seasons 

change. For example, a roof slope can be entirely exposed to the sun during the summer months (when the 

sun is in the highest position with respect to the horizon) and be completely in the shade during the winter 

months when the sun is at its lowest, or vice versa.
