Determine the roof(s) where the panels will be installed. In the northern hemisphere, the panels should face (in the order of efficiency) south, flat, west or east. Panels may never face north. Panels must be mounted at a minimum angle of 15° for proper drainage. In tropic and sub-tropic climates, the panels may be installed on flat roofs. In the event of freezing conditions, the water must be drained out of the collector pipe, to avoid panel damage. Most roof surfaces are acceptable for installation including shingle, barrel tile, flat tile, metal, cedar shake, built-up gravel and modified roof systems. The system can also be installed on aluminum or wood ground mounted rack system. For more information on rack or flat roof installations, consult our technical support team.
