Solar Collector Setup

How to install solar collectors?

To install solar collectors, begin at the installation site by opening the crate or pallet they were shipped in. Remove the individual components and open each box. Familiarize yourself with the contents. It is advised to label the various boxes and organize them for easy access during the installation.

How do solar collectors work?

The solar collectors are mounted on the roof or a ground-based structure, carefully positioned to maximize solar exposure. The pipework connecting the collectors to the storage tank is installed, and the system is connected to the existing heating infrastructure.

Who should install a solar collector?

The installation of a solar collector, its components, and the system in its entirety, should be performed by properly licensed and experienced professional contractors. This is to ensure compliance with applicable federal, state, and local regulations, codes, ordinances, and standards governing the installation of solar water heating systems.

What is a solar thermal collector?

Solar thermal collectors absorb the sun’s rays and change them to heat to make hot water. It’s an eco-friendly way to heat water for use around a property. It’s important to understand that while both solar panels and solar thermals gather energy from the sun, they are two very different technologies.

Where should solar collectors be mounted?

Solar collectors should be mounted facing south with their tilt being at latitude or as close as possible to maximize solar energy collection. While they can be mounted on the ground, a roof or other raised surface is generally more appropriate.

Why should you install a solar collector?

By installing solar collectors, you are demonstrating your commitment to protecting the environment, by sustainably lowering CO₂ emissions. You can also save up to 60 percent of the annual energy consumption for domestic hot water heating. With Viessmann, you have a strong partner at your side.
