Snow and Wind Load
EN1991
Design limit snow load on the ground = 2.8 kN/m²
NOTE: This limit will be reduced for installations where abutments
create additional risks of drifting or falling snow.
The maximum wind load to be borne by the mounting structure
depends on the height and geographical area of the site among
other factors This structure must be installed in accordance with
the provisions of the EN1991 standard. Consult your official dealer
if in doubt.

Legislation, recommendations and maintenance
7.0
LEGISLATION
Please note the following instructions regarding laws, regulations and technical rules.
When setting up solar energy installations, the laws and regulations at local, state, European
and international level that apply to the country in question must be observed. Generally acknowledged
technical regulations apply; these are usually formulated in the form of standards,
guidelines, provisions, regulations and technical rules laid down by local and national bodies,
energy supply companies, trade organisations and technical committees in the relevant fields.
The installation of solar units may require improved rain resistance with regard to roof, wall and
sealing technology and this must be taken into account accordingly. To meet regulations for
the prevention of accidents, it may be necessary to use safety equipment (straps, scaffolding,
supports, etc.). Such safety equipment is not supplied. Installation must only be carried out
by technically qualified and authorised personnel with a recognised qualification (verified by a
state or national body) in the relevant technical area.
This product is unclassified against BS 476-3.
RECOMMENDATIONS
- Use a safety harness when working at height.
- The structure of the roof must be assessed for its suitability prior to commencing work.
- Consult a structural Engineer if you are unsure of the collector’s siting.
- Loading due to snow may exceed the capability of the property’s structure.
- Wind loads may cause excess forces on the structure and cause damage.
- The installer is responsible for the suitability of the site and its sub-structure.
- The collector should be sited to avoid damage from falling debris and vandalism.
- All pipe work within this installation must be earth bonded.
- In exposed areas, the collector must be protected against the risk of lightning.
- It is recommended that a minimum of 2 people are used to lift this product.
- The collector must not be lifted by its pipe connections.
- Ensure all hydraulic connections are securely fixed and are free of leaks.
- Avoid installing the collector in shaded areas.
- The system must be inspected on completion of the work.
- A further inspection is recommended annually.
- Do not apply excessive force when installing the collector.
- Hot, exposed surfaces that can be touched must be insulated to protect against injury.
- Lubrication is not required for the ‘O’ ring connections.
- The collector must not be installed on an uneven roof surface.
- Large arrays will require specialist piping, pump groups and design.
- The flashing kit must be installed correctly to prevent water damage to the property.
- The flashing kit is only recommended for roofs with waterproof membrane or underfelt.
- Prepare the roof with a weatherproof membrane (felt or alternative material) before installing
the collectors.
- For concrete roof the supplied battens must not be installed. The panel and the In Roof kit are
installed directly to the concrete roof.
- An anchor plug and bolt may be used to secure the collector on a suitable roof surface.
-The illustrations in this manual may differ from the equipment supplied.
-The company cannot be held responsible for any differences between the images in the manual
and the actual assembly.
MAINTENANCE
It is recommended that the following checks are carried out on an annual basis:
1) Check the collector installation for any signs of damage or any build up of debris.
2) Check for any corrosion to the collector or the mounting system and repair if necessary.
3) Check the tightness of the fasteners. Where fasteners cannot be readily accessed, the
overall security of the collector installation may indicate whether problems exist.
4) Check the fittings and pipe work for any signs of fluid leakage or damage, including the
condition of the pipe insulation, and repair if necessary. Check inside the building for any
evidence of leaks.
5) Examine the roof tiles around the collector installation for any damage or deterioration, and
repair if necessary.
6 )Check for any foliage growth that may cause shading of the collectors.
7) Where applicable, check the condition of any ballast used to secure the system.
8) In areas where there may be a build up of dirt on the collector, only nonabrasive cleaning
materials and methods should be used to clean the collectors and mounting system components.
