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)

Figure 1. Characteristics of solar collector
The manufacturing of the solar collector follow strict quality criteria and is certified by
ISO 9001:2008.

2.2. Support Frame
There are two sets of support frames for a single collector (EST1) or for two
collectors (EST2).
Depending on the bank of solar collectors chosen, the appropriate number of support
frames will be provided for one or two collectors. Table 1 shows the sets of support
frames necessary for different banks of solar collectors.

Table 1. The support frames and the connections provided depend on the number of
collectors per bank
The support frames sets are composed of elements that are shown in Figures 3 and 4.
Figure 3. Support frame components EST1 for a single solar collector
Page 7of 24
Figure 4. Support frame components EST2 for two solar collectors
The support frames allow the installation of the solar collectors with different
inclinations (45, 40, 35 or 30 degrees) using the same profiles and accessories, by
choosing properly the fixing holes.
2.3. Connectors
The connectors supplied are conical-type compression unions with metal ring and
allow the connection of two or more solar collectors in a bank, joining the top and
bottom of the collectors.
This way, the collectors are hydraulically connected between them in parallel.
The number of connections provided is determined by the number of collectors in the
bank, according to Table 1 above.

3. Placement of the Collectors
The choice of location, inclination and orientation of the solar collectors has to be
determined at the design stage of the installation. The installation of the solar
collectors in the building should be carried out respecting the instructions of the
person in charge of the project, who should have taken into consideration the effect
of the orientation, inclination and possible shadows in the calculation of benefits of
the solar system.
Particular attention should be paid to the minimum distance maintained between two
rows of solar collectors or between an obstacle in front of a group of solar collectors
and them. During the calculation of this distance one should take into consideration
the latitude of the place, the inclination of the terrain and the period of use of the
facility. Failure to have a more detailed specification by the designer of the facility,
the distance should not be less than that shown in Figure 6.
At the time of its installation, the solar collectors should be stored in a compound
covered and kept in their original packaging. During the assembly phase, avoid
keeping the solar collectors outdoors with the cover glass facing down on wet
surfaces, in order to prevent entry of humidity or water in the rear of the collector.
Figure 6. Distance needed in order to avoid shadows on collectors.
Once at work, in the event that the installer observes the existence of elements that
can cause shadows on the solar collectors and have not be taken into account in the
design of the system, as protection walls in terraces, fireplaces, outdoor air
conditioning units or other elements, should inform the designer of the project or the
owner of the property in order to revise or amend the calculations made for the
location of the collectors, if necessary.
The system of fixing the support frame of the solar collectors to the building also
must be determined in the design phase of the installation, for example by
conducting benches built on a flat roof. In this case, the thickness and size of the
bench should be sufficient to ensure stability of the whole in case of strong gusts of
wind. In any case, the solution adopted should ensure the solidity and stability of the
setting without compromising the watertight integrity of the deck. To facilitate the
design of the fixing system, figures 7 to 13 show the distances between the support
frames of the solar collectors.

4. Banks of Collectors
The solar collectors can be connected with each other to form banks of up to 6 units
in parallel, connecting the top and bottom of the collectors through the fittings
included in the set.
The dimensions of pipe connections for collector arrays up to 20m² is 22mm.
It is recommended that the connections between the different banks of collectors are
also conducted in parallel. However, the connection of up to two banks of solar
collectors in series is allowed.
In the following figures from 6 to 13 shows the dimensions of the solar collectors
from 1 to 6 units and for different angles of inclination. Additionally, there should be
sufficient space around the banks of collectors to perform with comfort the hydraulic
connections.
