3.4.1 Sloping roof
If your roof is sloping,mounting straps will be a useful accessory. You can buy it from us.Or if you can
made it by the similar shape or function,it’s also ok but please make sure it is strong enough. Our

Installation steps:
a) Select a suitable location on the roof for the collector. In the northern hemisphere, thecollector
should face due south, at an angle to the ground equal to the latitude. For example, latitude of 49
degrees would use a collector angle of about 49 degrees, plus 10 degrees to give best heating in
winter.
b) Put solar collector on the roof to choose some points to fix screws.These screws is used to fix the
mount straps on the roof.Remove roof tiles at the corners of an area large enough to fit the collector.
c) Bend mounting straps according to the height of tiles and the location of long-round hole on
vertical.Make the bended mounting straps through the gap of two tiles,and fix it on roof by
screws.The fix all mounting straps in this way. After that,put solar collector on the roof and adjust
the location so that you can fix vertical bar with the bended mount straps by screws. Fix solar
collector on mounting straps. (Fig 3.10~3.13).
