Our review was based on: 1. The ASCE7-98 Code for wind and snow loads using 45psf ground snow loads. II. "Manual of Steel Construction: Load Resistance Factor Design," 3' Ed, American Institute of Steel Construction, Chicago, IL, 2001. III. "Aluminum Design Manual: Specifications and Guidelines for Aluminum Structures":, The Aluminum Association, Washington D.C., 2000. IV. Mechanical Properties of UNIRAC extruded rails and related components based on data obtained from Walter Gerstle, PE, Department of Civil Engineering, University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, NM. In our opinion, UNIRAC SunFrame products, when installed in accordance with the "SunFrame" Code-Compliant "Planning and Assembly" installation manual #808, copyright June 2006, meet the requirements of the Building Code of New York State.

This change resulted in a slight increase in section prooerlies. I I/c (inA4) (inA3) Original Rag 0.704 0.492 Prior Rail 0.718 0.490 Current Rail D.731 0.499 Screws In addition we changed the screw specification to increase individual screw pull out strength Prior Screw #12 Type A sheet metal screw 18-8 stainless Current Screw 114-20 Type F thread cutting 18-8 stainless Pull Out - UniRac Internal test results Pull Out (Ibf) Prior Rail 112 depth full depth Prior Screw 450 900 Current Screw 1D00 1700 Current Rail Prior Screw 450 1000 Current Screw 1100 1800 The half-depth strength (1100 Ibf) is taken as the minimum ultimate strength. As a safety factor a limiting working strength of 250 Ibf is assigned. Screw Spacing Finally we recognized that due to prying action, the screw loads can be higher on the rails at the edge of an array than on the rats internal to the array. The attached spreadsheet accounts for prying action and calculates screw load per foot based on wind pressure, cap strip span, and module size. Screw strength per foot is based on 250 Ibf per screw and screw spacing. Cap strip screw spacing has been standardized to 8 inches resulting in a limiting working strength of 375 Ibf per foot for screw leading. Summary Three in-line changes have been made in the SunFrame rail and module attachment screws. Each change has contributed to increased strength.

Important Information 1.1. Local Standards a) Installation must be completed in accordance with relevant local standards and regulations. 1.2. Authorized Person(s) a) The term "authorized person(s)" used throughout this document refers to a suitably qualified professional, who holds relevant industry licenses or certificates required for the work completed during the installation process. b) Installation may only be completed by authorised persons. c) Unless. otherwise specified in section 3, no part of the Apricus solar collector may be inspected, repaired or maintained by anybody other than an authorized person(s). 1.3. Pressure and Temperature Control and Relief a) For open loop systems, the normal operating pressure should be <500kPa / 72.5psi, if necessary via use of a pressure limiting (pressure reduction) valve on the mains cold supply line. b) For open loop systems, it is acceptable for the system design to allow the solar collector to stagnate to prevent additional heating of the storage tank (i.e. pump stoppage once tank temperature reaches 600C 1 1770F). The pressure relief valve on the tank must be able to release the pressure increase that occurs when the manifold stagnates, and should be rated to meet the maximum possible heat output of the solar collector(s). Please see section 3.4 regarding insulation of piping for high temperatures, and section 2.2.3 regarding overheating. c) For closed loop systems, the solar loop must operate at <500kPa / 72.5psi, and have an expansion vessel installed to control water expansion. The system design may allow stagnation of the collector as a standard form of controlling tank temperature, but only if the glycol is suitably rates for such high temperature exposure. If the glycol is not rated for high temperatures, stagnation should not be used as the standard high temperature protection control method. d) Any system design must provide means for allowing pressure release at no more than 650kPa / 123psi, or as specked by local regulation. Also check the maximum pressure ratings for any components of the system and design for the weakest link. 1.4. Water Quality a) Water in direct flow through the manifold header must firstly meet potable water requirements and, in addition, the following: Total dissolved solids < 600 P. P.M. Total hardness < 200 p.p.m Chloride <250 p.p.m. Free Chlorine <5 ppm Magnesium < 10 P.P.M. b) In areas with "hard" water (>200ppm), lime scale may form inside the header pipe (where a direct flow format is used). In such regions, it is advisable to install a water softening device to ensure the long term efficient operation of the collector, or use a closed loop for the solar circulation loop. 1.5. Metallic Corrosion a) Both copper & stainless steel are susceptible to corrosion when, amongst other factors, high concentrations of chloride are present. The solar collector may be used for heating of spa or pool water, but levels of free chlorine must not exceed 5ppm, otherwise the copper header could be corroded. Apricus does not warrant the solar collector against corrosion related damage. 1.6. Freeze protection Freeze protection must be implemented in any regions that experience freezing conditions at any time throughout the year. Copyright C 2008 - Apricus Solar Co., Ltd Doc: AS-1.5.2.2-PB-0.3 (April 08) Page 4 of 31 Apricus Solar Collector Installation and Operation Manual (North America) 1.8. Manifold Formats (End or Rear) a) There are two manifold formats, rear port and end port. For the end port manifolds, flow in either direction is acceptable, but for the rear port manifold, only one direction of flow is suitable. Please refer to the following diagram. End Port ° inlet Rear Port O Outlet ° 1.9. Wind Stress a) When installing the collector, please consider the issue of wind loading, and the resultant stress on attachment points. b) The standard frame, and frames kits are all designed to withstand wind speeds of up to 130mph / 208km/h without damage, which corresponds to the mid range of Category 2 cyclones (US Saf iir-Simpson Scale). For higher wind speeds reinforcement of manifold and tube to frame attachment, and frame to roof attachment is required, and must be approved for use by both Apricus and a qualified engineer. c) Refer to sections 2.3 - 2.7 for specific roof attachment details for various frame options. d) Other mounting formats in high wind regions may require inspection and approval by an authorised engineer or the local building department. It is the responsibility of the installation officer to ensure that the frame mounting is of suitable strength. ALWAYS SEEK ENGtNEERAPPROVAL FOR t"TA1 i ATiONS fN HIGH WIND REGIONS. 1.10. Snow Load a In areas prone to heavy snow falls the solar collectors should ideally , w >+is,, 1ct ~ , be installed at an angle of 500 or greater to help promote snow sliding off the tubes. In addition it is advisable to raise the front of the collector frame 15-20cm off the roof surface as this allows the collector %x to sit above moderate snow falls and also more easily blow away from under the collector. See the picture to the right. A front track extension (Part FR-FTRACK-EXT) can be used for this purpose. b) Each tubes is strong enough to withstand >50kg loading, but roof attachment points may need to be reinforced. Please refer to local regulations regarding snow loading precautions. W- 1.11. Storage Tanks a) Glass lined storage tanks: Please note that if the water heater is left in an operating condition and not used for two weeks or more, a quantity of hydrogen (which is highly flammable) may accumulate in the top of the water cylinder. To dissipate this gas safely it is recommend that a hot water tap be turned on for several minutes at a sink, basin or bath but not a dishwasher, clothes washer or other appliance. During this process there must be no smoking or open flame or any other electrical appliance operating nearby. If hydrogen is discharged through the tap it will usually sound like air escaping. b) Pressure Relief Valve: The storage tank's pressure and temperature relief valve and the drain outlet pipe must not be sealed or blocked. It is normal for the valve to release small amounts of water during heating cycles. Copyright C~ 2008 -Apricus Solar Co., Ltd Doc: AS-1.5.2.2-PB-13 (April 08) Page 6 of 31 Apricus Solar Collector Installation and Operation Manual (North America) located in the manifold box. This will protect the bottom tip of the glass tube from being broken if knocked. e) Heat pipes are bright and shiny when newly manufactured, but will dull and may form dark-grey surface discoloration over time. This is due to mild surface oxidation (when exposed to air) and is perfectly normal and does not affect the integrity of the heat pipe. d) Do not remove and/or expose the tubes to sunlight until ready to install, otherwise the heat pipe tip will become very hot, sufficient to cause serious skin burns. The outer glass surface will not become hot. WEAR SAFIFt Y GLASSES AND LEATHER GLOVES AT ALL TIMES WHEN HANDL{No EVACUATED'iTt)61ES & HEAT PIPES .NEVER TOUCH THE INSIOt OF E1fACUATED TUBES OR THE NEAT Pfl?E Tip AFTER ExpOSURB TO SUNLIGHT. Apricus does not wan-ant the tube or heat pipes against failure as a result of damage incurred during transport or installation. 2,1.3. Frame a) Unpack the standard frame that is provided together with the manifold. If a frame kif is being used, those components will be packed separately from the manifold. See Appendix A for standard frame diagram. b) Depending on the roof surface, rubber pads, roof attachment straps or round feet may be used to attach the standard frame to the roof. These components are supplied separately from the standard frame. 2.2 System Design 2.2.1. System Design a) System design should be completed prior to commencing installation. Solar collectors need to be installed correctly to ensure high efficiency, and most importantly, safe and reliable operation. Please seek professional advice for the design and installation of your solar heating system. APRtCUS SOLAR-COLLECTORS MUST ONLY BE INSTALLED BY AUTHORIZED INSTALLERS. Apricus does not provide warranty coverage and will not be held liable for any damage to person or property that results from solar collectors that are installed by unauthorized persons. 2.2.2. "Deta-T Controller Settings a) Usually a Delta-T ON value of 100C / 18°F and Delta-T OFF value of 30C / 5°F is appropriate. These settings may need to be altered slightly according to the location and system design. Refer to the instruction manual provided with the chosen solar controller for appropriate settings. 2.2.3. Stagnation and Overheating a) Stagnation refers to the condition that occurs when the pump stops running, due to pump failure, power blackout, or as a result of a high tank temperature protection feature built into the controller, which turns the pump off. b) If the system is designed to allow stagnation as a means of preventing tank overheating, the collector and plumbing in close proximity may reach temperatures of >2000C / 395OF; therefore components that may be exposed to the high temperatures such as valves, plumbing or insulation, should be suitably rated. c) If the system is designed to allow stagnation of the collector when the tank reaches a set maximum level, steam may form in the header (depending on the system pressure). In such a system, a temperature relief valve or auto air vent should NOT be installed on the collector outlet, as they may not be able to withstand the high temperatures and will not allow stable stagnation of the collector (may dump hot water). The PTRV on the tank may open to release pressure or as required, especially at the point when steam forms in the header. Under such conditions the Copyright t" 2008 - Apricus Solar Co., Ltd Doc: AS-1.5.2.2-PB-1.3 (April 08) Page 8 of 31 Apricus Solar Collector Installation and Operation Manual (North America) b) In mains pressure open loop systems that have a check valve/non-return valve on the cold mains, this expanded water is released via the pressure relief valve, which is mounted on the tank or solar collector loop. In order to prevent this wasteful dumping of water, it is recommended that an expansion vessel be installed, c) Closed loop systems should always be installed with an expansion vessel. The volume of the vessel usually equates to 2-3% of the volume of the water in the system. Refer to the expansion vessel manufacturers' guidelines regarding correct sizing. d) In un-pressurized open vented systems no pressure vessel is required. 2.2.13. Lightning Protection a) It is advisable to earth/ground the copper circulation loop of the collector to avoid lightning related damage, or electrical safety issues. 2.2.14. Pine Connections & Pi Size a) Apricus solar collectors are provided as standard with 3/4" copper pipe inlet and outlet pipe (starting April 2008, prior to April, 22mm OD is provided which is slightly smaller than standard 3/4" Nth American pipe). b) For domestic heating applications with 1 or 2 collectors, nominal 1/2" piping is suitable. c) For applications using 2 or more solar collectors in series, it is advisable to use a nominal 314" piping. d) For connection of banks of collectors, larger pipe sizes should be used as required for the given application, with consideration made to flow rates, pressure drop and pump sizing. e) The material used for the solar loop must be able to withstand the operating temperatures and pressures to which the system may be exposed, due to both normal and extraordinary conditions leg. Pump failure, or power outage). Copper pipe is the most widely used piping material for solar applications. Synthetic piping should not be used for the solar bop, unless specifically rated for high temperatures (>2500C / 4820F). 2.2.15. Connection of Multiple Collectors a) When connecting collectors in series that have end manifold connections (as opposed to rear), flexible connections should be used between each collector in order to allow for the expansion and contraction of the copper header with temperature changes. Failure to use flexible connections between consecutive collectors may result D in damage to the header if the system stagnates. The simplest flexible connection is a U shaped copper pipe that should be commercially available from plumbing suppliers. Apricus does not warrant the collector against damage resulting from poorly managed header expansion and contraction. 2.2.16. Heat Transfer Liquid a) In regions where freeze protection is not a concern, water is the most ®~y appropriate heat transfer fluid. b) If the system is direct flow, meaning that potable water is flowing through the collector, any components used in the system must meet potable water requirements. C) When using a direct flow system is used in an area with hard water (high mineral content), scale may gradually form in the solar collector loop, gradually reducing performance, increasing pressure drop, and ultimately rendering the system inoperable (due to flow restriction). In such regions, a water treatment system should be installed, which either removes the scale forming minerals, or prevents formation of a scale layer. d) In regions where freeze protection is required, it is advisable to use a dosed loop system with a non-toxic grade polypropylene glycol used as the heat transfer liquid. This liquid should be used directly, or mixed with water as per the manufactures instructions. Periodic inspection of the glycol should be completed (annually), and replaced if necessary. Please refer to the guidelines provided by the glycol manufacturer regarding replacement times. e) In order to meet health and safety regulations, when using a single wail heal exchanger non-toxic (GRAS - generally regarded as safe) polypropylene glycol should be used. Other grades of glycol may be used ONLY if a Copyright V. 2008 - Apricus Solar Co., Ltd Doc: AS-1.5.2.2-PB-1.3 (April 08) Page 10 of 31 Apricus Solar Collector Installation and Operation Manual (North America) 2.3.6. Roof Attachment a) In order to meet strength requirements in areas with winds up to 130mph / 208km/h and category "D° exposure, the following attachment format should be followed. Any other installation format should be approved by a local engineer.

Rear X Brace Adjustment a) The rear X brace components have a series of elongated holes to allow adjustment of the location of the legs. If further adjustment is needed, additional 09mm / 00.35° holes may be drilied to suit. 2.6 Fiat Roof Installation (High Angle Frame) The high angle frame is appropriate for installations on flat surfaces and provides adjustment from 30-500. The high angle frame kit combines with the standard frame components to form the complete frame assembly. Refer to Appendix D for assembly diagram. 26.1. Frame Feet Anchorino a) Frame feet should be bolted to the installation surface using 8mm / 5/16" diameter bolts, or a similarly sturdy fastening method. Only stainless steel bolts should be used. b) The surface or concrete block must be strong/heavy enough to withstand load during high winds. Consult a building engineer for design requirements. 2.6.2. Adiusting Frame Anale a) The rear legs of the high angle frame comprise two interlocking pieces (top and bottom leg), which allow the length of the rear leg to be adjusted, thus changing the collector angle from between 300 and 500. b) Each pair of legs (top and bottom) must always be attached together by 2 bolts (two sets of boles), c) if an angle less than 300 is required a low angle frame kit should be sourced. Rather than making adjustments to the high angle frame, it is much easier to directly use a low or mid angle frame kits. See Appendix 8 & C. d) if an angle greater than 500 is required the mounting points of the rear feet may be raised. Raising the angle greatly increases the horizontal force during high winds, and as such should be considered. Consult a building engineer for design requirements. 2.7 Wall Mounting (using Low, Mid, High or Fixed Angle Frames) Refer to Appendix F for assembly diagram. 21.1. Wall Frame Options a) If mounting on a wall, low, mid, high or fixed angle frames may be used, with the legs reversed, so attached to the bottom of the front tracks rather than the top. 27.2. Attachment Methods a) The method used for attachment to the wall will depend on the wall material. For brick or concrete walls, the round feet can be used, secured with stainless steel expansion bolts. b) For wood or synthetic boarding, stainless steel screws that can penetrate into the wall framework may be suitable. If the strength of such screw attachment is of concern it is advisable to use bolts that run directly through the wood, with a large washer or metal plate positioned before the nut. c) Always consider the weight of the collector and the structural integrity of the wall. Consult a building engineer for design requirements. p d) ideally do not install the collector beyond an angle of 800, otherwise heat pipe performance may be reduced. Installing vertically is permitted and will not void the warranty, but perform will be reduced. I l gp' e) When installing on a wall, consider the possible shading from eves, particularly in the summer. This in fact may be a part of the system design, in order to minimize summer heat output. Another advantage of installing under an eve overhang is to minimize snow buildup on the collector in areas with regular snowfall. Even with snow sitting on the bottom of tubes, the heat pipes will work effectively to conduct heat, as the inner tube temperature becomes fairly even for the full length due to heat transfer by the aluminum fins.

Insulation a) Heavily insulate all piping running to and from the manifold with a high quality insulation of at least 15mm/0.6" thickness, and double the thickness in cold climates. Heat loss from the piping can be significant, and so particular attention should be taken to insulate any possible points of heat loss. b) Ensure the insulation is tight against the'manifold casing, thus minimising loss of heat from the inlet and outlet. In order to prevent water from entering the temperature probe port and/or in between the piping and insulation foam, a high quality silicone sealant should be used to form a water-tight seal. c) Insulation foam that is exposed to direct sunlight should be protected against UV related degradation by wrapping/covering with a suitable material such as adhesive back aluminum foil, PVC conduit or similar. d) For systems designed to allow stagnation, high temperature rated insulation such as glass wool or mineral wool should be used on piping close to the collector (-2m 16). Glass wool insulation may come with an external foil wrap, but any cuts made during installation should be sealed with watertight and UV stabilized material such as adhesive backed aluminum foil. e) Circulation pumps can be a source of significant heat loss and should be insulated. Some pumps come standard with a molded foam casing which has good insulation properties. If the pump does not have any insulation, the same foam style insulation used on the plumbing pipe can be used to cover the pump, secured in place with good quality nylon cable ties or adhesive tape. Note: Certain pumps are not designed to be insulated, please contact the pump manufacturer if in doubt. f) All internal piping as well as external should be insulated. This includes at least the 1m / 3" closest to the hot water outlet of the tank, as this copper pipe is a significant point of passive heat loss. 2.8.7. Pump Selection a) The pump should provide enough pressure to enable circulation through the collector header, but preferably only at a slow rate (0.11-/tube / 0.026G/tube each minute). Apart from wasting electricity, a fast flow rate will cause turbulent mixing of the water in the storage tank in direct flow systems, disturbing temperature stratification, which is not desirable. b) If the water pressure used in the solar loop is sufficient to fill the header passively, then the pump is simply required to circulate the water. The key consideration is therefore the pressure drop throughout the pipeline. Elbows, tees, and bends in piping all contribute to pressure drop. For this reason the flow path should be kept as simple and unrestricted as possible. A larger pipe size will also provide less pressure drop, so may be an option if the pump is slightly undersized. c) Pressure drop through an Apricus 30 tube header with cold water at 3Umin / 0.79gpm is only 900Pa / 0.13psi. See graph on following page for pressure drops at flow rates up to 5Um / 1.32gpm.

The heat pipe and evacuated tube assembly just needs to be plugged into the manifold. The contact between the heat pipe condenser/tip and heat pipe port in the header needs to be tight in order to ensure good heat transfer. Under normal use, once the heat pipes are installed they should never have to be removed, even if replacing a damaged evacuated tube. DO NOT INSTALL THE.-HEAT PIPES ANt31iVAGUATEp T 18ES UNTIL SYSTEM PLUM"O IS tONlPL9,TED AND POMP AND . NTROtJ.IwEttRE OPERATIONAL.,13N11~SS,:THE SYSITI PARTICULAR INSULATION) IS DESIGNED TO W[tii9TAtiD'iitU`H TEINMIOP TURtSTAGNATION, OR THE TUBS ARE COVERED. Please follow the instructions below for assembly and installation: 2.9.1. Unpackina a) The heat pipes and evacuated tubes are packed in the same box, with heat pipes already inserted into the evacuated tubes. b) Open the bottom of the box to expose the ends of the tubes, placing a rubber caps on each tube. This protects the tubes from accidental damage. c) Do not expose tubes to sunlight until ready to install, otherwise the heat pipes will become extremely hot, and could cause serious burns if touched. WEAR SAFETY GLASSES AND LEATHER GLOVES AT ALL TIMES WHEN HANDLING EVACUATED TUBES & HEAT PIPES e) Heat pipes contain a small amount of copper powder which aids in heat transfer and provides protection against freeze related damage to the heat pipe. To ensure that the powder is at the bottom of the heat pipes where is needs to be, before installing the tube and heat pipe, they should inverted (heat pipes down), return upright (heat pipe at top) and then shaken up and down a few times to ensure the powder has all returned to the bottom. 2.9.2. Heat Pioe and Evacuated Tube Insertion a) The heat pipe will already be inserted fully into the evacuated tube. b) If an evacuated tube is damaged for any reason (e.g. knocked heavily or dropped), it will need to be replaced. Either use another tube with heat pipe already inserted, or if a plain evacuated tube spare is being used, carefully remove the heat pipe from the broken tube and insert into the new tube. This should be done with care, holding the heat transfer fins in place with one hand while inserting the heat pipe by making a short push and twisting action. Never throw heat pipes away, as they are very sturdy and will not be damaged even if the tube has been. They can be kept as spares, or inserted into plain spare evacuated tubes. c) While holding the spring plate in place, pull the heat pipe out of the evacuated tube by about 8cm / 3". Using the heat transfer paste, form a thin layer over the heat pipe head (not the top round end). Note: The powder content of the thermal paste may have settled during storage and freight in order to ensure optimal thermal conductivity, it is advisable to sit the tube (cap downward) in a glass of warm water (particularly in cool weather) to allow the powder to mix through. This will also allow the paste to become thinner, making application and heat pipe insertion easier d) Lubricate the top outer surface of the evacuated tube with a small amount of water. This facilitates easy insertion past the manifold rubber ring seal. Asmall pump spray bottle is the best method for carrying and applying the water. Note: DO NOT SPRAY WATER INTO THE EVACUATED TUBE e) Whilst ensuring the metal spring plate is sitting in the mouth of the evacuated tube, firmly hold the evacuated tube, guiding the heat pipe tip in past the manifold rubber seal and into the heat pipe port. Ensure the heat pipes are at the TOP of the evacuated tube, and therefore aligned correctly with the heat pipe port.

Maintenance Under normal conditions the solar collector is maintenance free. Other system components such as the pump, glycol liquid (if used) may require periodic inspection and changing/maintenance. Please refer to the documentation provided by the manufacturer of these other components.

The following basic maintenance may be completed by the HOME OWNER 3.1. Cleaning a) Regular rain should keep the evacuated tubes clean, but if particularly dirty they may be washed with a soft cloth and warm, soapy water or glass cleaning solution but ONLY if the solar collector is located in a position which does require climbing onto the roof, use of step-ladder or otherwise potentially dangerous location. If the tubes are not easily and safely accessible, high-pressure water spray is also effective. b) If cleaning is required and the above outlined methods are not suitable, the company that supplied and installed the solar collector should be contacted to complete such cleaning. 3.2. Leaves a) During autumn, leaves may accumulate between or beneath the tubes. Please remove these leaves regularly to ensure optimal performance and to prevent a fire hazard. (The solar collector will not cause the ignition of flammable materials). Such cleaning may only be completed by the homeowner if the tubes are easily and safely accessible (refer also to 3.1 for safety considerations) The following maintenance may ONLY be completed by AUTHORIZED PERSONS 3.3. Broken Tube a) If a tube is broken it should be replaced as soon as possible to maintain maximum collector performance, b) The system will still operate normally and safely even with a tube broken. c) Any broken glass should be cleared away to prevent injury. d) To replace a tube: i) Remove the tube clip(s), slide broken tube out and carefully pick up any glass pieces. Protective gloves must be wom when handling broken glass. ii) Avoid touching the glass wool insulation with bare hands, as it can cause mild skin irritation. iv) If the heat pipe is not easily removed (commonly the case), it can be left in place and a new evacuated tube inserted, guiding the heat pipe down the groove between the evacuated tube inner wall and heat transfer fin. - If the heat pipe is easily removed, the easiest option is to replace the heat pipe and evacuated completely. 3.4. Insulation a) The plumbing pipes running to and from the collector should be heavily insulated. This insulation foam should be checked periodically (at least once every 3 years) for damage.

Troubleshooting Those inspection items with an (H) in front may be completed by the homeowner, but only if such investigation is clearly both SAFE and EASY. Any information obtained during an investigation can then be relayed onto the company who supplied and installed the system. Any other system troubleshooting, system adjustments, or repairs may only be completed by authorized persons. 4.1. No Hot Water a) If there is no hot water, it will generally be related to the gas or electric heating system, and not the solar collector. The collector simply pre-heats water, with final boosting completed by the electric element or gas booster system. For a retrofitted solar system, please contact the manufacturer/installer of your gas/electric water heater. For a new solar water heating system, please contact the company that supplied and installed the system. 4.2. Reduced Solar Contribution a) Solar contribution to your heating is directly related to the amount of solar radiation and the volume of hot water used. During the winter, and periods of rainy, or particularly overcast weather, the amount of energy produced by the solar collector will be greatly reduced. b) As a general rule, the solar collector will have been sized to provide close to 100% of your summer hot water needs, which, depending on your location and hot water usage patterns, may result in between 40% - 70% of your annual hot water energy needs. During the winter, increased cloud cover and reduced solar radiation levels may result in solar contribution as low as 20%. This is normal. c) If, given similar environmental conditions, you feel that the solar contribution (as indicated by energy savings) has considerably reduced, there may be a problem with your solar heating system. This may be due to an incorrectly configured controller, pump malfunction or problem with the boosting system. In such cases please contact the company who supplied and installed the system. Investigation (H) 1. Does the circulation pump appear to be operating? In good sunny weather the circulation pump should come on for 1-2 minutes once every 3-5 minutes. The pump may run very quietly, and so you may need to touch the pump or piping running to and from with a solid object to feel for motor operation (slight vibration). Do not use ringers as it may be hotlf (H) 2. Are all the evacuated tubes intact? If a tube has been damaged or discolored it will reduce the system performance and should be replaced. If a tube is damaged, do not attempt to remove it; contact the company who supplied and installed the system. (H) 3. Are there any apparent leaks in the pluming to and from the collector? Any water trails down the roof, or around the storage tank? 4.3. Regular Water Dumping a) During normal daily hot water use, if the temperature relief valve on the tank or collector is regularly dumping hot water (more than just a dribble), it may indicate a problem with the system. Possible Causes: 1. The system has been sized incorrectly (oversized). This will be most apparent in the summer months, when solar radiation levels are high. 2. A problem exists with the electric heating thermostat (Electric boosting only). Investigation (H) To test the system, run the hot water tap in the bathroom-or kitchen for 5 minutes to release some heat from the system (the water will be hot, so be careful). If after this period, the tank or collector is still regularly dumping hot water it indicates a problem. Please contact the company who supplied and installed the system to organize a service call.
