Pitch Requirements

Correct operation requires a 15°- 45° pitch (slope). This can be done by using the roof slope itself or a frame

!CAUTION: DO NOT install on a roof with a pitch beyond 45°.

Use pitch gauge and compass and complete the following steps. Record the results on the checklist.

Record pitch and compass bearing of proposed installation site.

Using table shown below, select number of collectors and correct type of installation.

NOTICE: A roof pitch beyond 30° requires additional bracing.

NOTICE: A crane may be necessary for installation.
