Star for New Homes. The System has a solar fraction of 93% of the hot water produced by this system
will be provided by the sun. See the Energy Start certificate for performance details.
Installation Instructions:
4.1
Orientation
The solar thermal system shall be positioned with collectors facing due south whenever possible. It is
recommended that the slope of the collectors be equal to that of the latitude i.e., in Puerto Rico the
collectors should be at a tilt angle of approximately 18°. Failure to position the collectors facing south at
the proper angle could result in reduced system performance.
The location and orientation of the collectors shall be such that it is not shaded by external obstructions
or mutual shadowing. Any shading of the solar collectors must be limited with the collectors receiving a
full sun between the hours of 10 am and 4 pm. Any shading of the solar collectors will result in possible
reduction of system performance.

Roof & Wall Penetrations
Penetration of the building through which piping, or wiring is passed shall not reduce or impair the
function of the enclosure. Penetrations through walls or other surfaces shall not allow intrusion by
insects and vermin. Required roof penetrations shall be made in accordance with applicable codes and
also by practices recommended by the National Roofing Association.
