Fafco Solar Hot Water HOT20 Techs and Specs

Install Location
For homes in the northern hemisphere, the best installation site is a roof facing true south. Many homes do not have a roof that faces directly to true south. Use the following guidelines for choosing which of your roof surfaces is best for your solar collectors:
  1. First choice is a roof facing due south
  2. Second choice is a roof facing between southeast and southwest
  3. Third choice is a roof facing between southeast and northeast, or southwest to northwest
  4. Fourth choice is a roof facing between northwest and northeast
Trees or other buildings must not shade the roof site. Keep in mind that as the seasons change, the sun changes its location in the sky. Areas that are clear in the winter might be shaded by tree and shrub growth in the summer. The sun appears lower in the southern sky during winter months, and higher during the summer months. A solar surveying device (such as the one sold at www.solarpathfinder.com) may help determine the best location for your solar collection setup.



Roof Pitch
The roof should have a minimum angle of 10 degrees. This is sometimes referred to as 2 in 12.


Detailed Instructions and Information
Please refer to the installation manual. Please note: An installation DVD is included with each unit.
