SOLE S.A.  –  Solar Collectors  –  Installation Manual

1. Presentation 
 
The present document demonstrates detailed installation instructions for the solar 
collectors using the support frames and accessories included in the supply.  
 
Before proceeding with the installation of the collectors, read these instructions and 
make sure you have understood. If you have questions about the materials or on the 
assembly process described in this document, contact your supplier via telephone, 
fax or e-mail. Improper installation of the collectors may cause an unsatisfactory 
operation of the solar system, compromising its durability and even be dangerous for 
the people or the goods.  
 
The instructions of this document do not exempt in any way the compliance with 
existing regulations and provisions of technical and administrative application at the 
place where the facility is located.  
 
The installation of solar collectors without following the instructions in this document 
and / or regulations will invalidate the warranty of the product.  
 
The installer will check before starting the installation that he has all the necessary 
parts and all the security measures have been taken in order to carry out the 
installation safely. The installer must use protective gloves to avoid any risk of burns 
or cuts during handling of collectors or its support frame.  
 
 
2.  Parts Included 
 
The supply consists of:  
 
One or more solar collectors  
One or more support frames  
Two or more fitting and connection (except for a single collector)  
 
2.1. Solar Collectors 
 
The solar collectors are supplied individually packaged in carton boxes. The collector 
model is indicated on the outside of each box. Depending on the number of units 
ordered, collectors can be supplied palletised in groups of up to 10 units. Collectors 
should always be during transport and storage placed with the glass facing on top, 
otherwise there is danger of water entering in the collectors from the ventilation holes 
at the back of the collector. 
 
The main technical characteristics of the collectors are indicated below (figure no. 1)
