Installation and Connection

Safety

Falls from heights can result in serious injury or death

Full attention must be paid to safe working practices at all times. Solar heating 

systems are usually installed on an elevated structure and unless you have 

the appropriate safety equipment for working at heights, you should employ 

someone with experience and equipment to complete the installation for you.

Solar Location

When choosing the appropriate roof to position the solar collectors, the following important 

things need to be considered:

1.  Roof Orientation 

 

 The ideal roof in the Southern hemisphere varies slightly depending on location but as a rule 

of thumb a North, West or flat roof is acceptable.

2.   Shade 

Try to avoid positioning the solar collectors on a roof that is going to be shaded heavily 

throughout the day. The best solar gains are made three hours either side of solar noon,  

9am - 3pm or 10am - 4pm during day light savings for a North facing roof. Shading outside 

these hours will have minimal effect on the overall performance.

 

 If they are going to be shaded at some time during the day, then a larger collector can be 

fitted to compensate.

3.   Position Solar Close to Pool Equipment 

Shorter pipe runs require less pumping power and reduce installation costs. Long runs up to 

50 metres have minimal effects on solar performance.

4.   Size Of Roof

 

Will the solar system fit on the roof? This has to be established from the ground or a ladder 

with OH & S Regulations preventing access to the roof without a harness or rail system. A 

quick measurement in most cases can be taken at ground level.
