1.0 Introduction
The SolarSheat 1000G is a modular solar collector designed for supplemental room heating.
Interior air is drawn though the SolarSheat, heated up and pushed back into the adjoining
room. The system is self-powered and does not require any external electrical connections.
1.1 Installation orientation
The SolarSheat 1000G should be positioned on a South facing wall (in the Northern
Hemisphere) in order to optimize the performance of the solar collector. Position the
SolarSheat 1000G so that the collector panels are un-shaded and not obstructed by
neighboring trees or buildings. The collector panels can be mounted to the building wall in
"Portrait" style or "Landscape" style orientations as shown below:
