General mounting and security advice
To avoid optical interferences (fog, condensate) the TitanPower Plus-SU2 collector must be mounted at an
angle between 35 and 75 degrees. For the collector warranty to apply this must be applied.
Statics:
An adequate load capacity of the roof construction must be taken in consideration, because the connection
parts are fixed to the roof structure. In case of specific loads, high wind and/or snow pressures the valuation
of an expert has to be obtained. Please observe the local codes and rules for roof installations.
Lightning protection:
All metallic parts of the solar system must be connected to the ground by a copper cable with an area of at
least 16mm2(AWG 5). If lightning protection is already in place the collector system can be connected
directly to it.
Protection against dirt and injury:
Never carry collectors at the pipe ends. Keep dry and clean! Don’t store collectors outdoors!
Rinsing, filling and maintenance:
During installation and setup of the collectors keep them covered to prevent damages. Please consider the
national rules and manufacturer instructions for the use of propylene glycol. Use only water-glycol mixtures
that are appropriate for solar thermal systems.
Operating parameters, maintenance:
The recommended operating pressure should be in a range between 36.3 and 43.5 PSI. The volumetric flow
rate is suggested between 5.28 and 18.5 gallons per 10.76 square feet per hour. Highest approved working
pressure is 47 psi. Solar collectors are usually maintenance-free but the solar system should be checked for
damages and irregularities yearly by a solar thermal installer.
Transport and handling:
Carry collectors with the glass side facing up. Don’t damage the pipe ends. Don’t throw any materials at the
glass plate and be careful of the glass edges. Never touch pipes in case of solar radiation to avoid the risk of
a severe burn
General:
The references shown make no pretence on completeness. In all cases you must comply with the national
rules for mounting, installing and operation of a solar system.

Installing Mounting Hardware
Step 1: Plotting Mounting Coordinates
Step 2: Mounting Roof Hooks
Step 3: Attaching Rails
Step 4: Mounting the Collectors
Step 5: Connecting the Universal Connect Set
Step 6: Inserting Temperature Sensors
Roof Hooks represent an essential component of our universal roof mounting hardware. If installed correctly, the roof hook
flashing system provided by SunMaxx
Is waterproof
Is in compliance with all codes put forth by the National Roofing Contractors Association
Is secure against insects and vermin
Is capable of supporting TitanPower Plus-SU2 or ThermoPower VHP collectors at all recommended tilt angles
Will not reduce fire resistance below code
Will isolate roof and construction materials from the high temperatures generated by the collector array
Step 2: Attaching the Roof Hook to the Roof
*Roof hooks must be installed no more than 48” apart along each rail*
a. Locate the first rafter and place the roof hook on the roof. Loosen the shingle above the roof hook and
temporarily set the flashing in place. This is to make sure the placement of the roof hook is
accommodating.
b. Using the Simpson Strong Drive screws, fasten the roof hook atop the shingle. There is no need to pre-
drill holes.
c. Once again, loosen the shingle above and move flashing in place. There is no need to fasten the
flashing down with roofing nails, but using roofing caulk is optional.
d. Repeat steps 1a through 1c making sure not to exceed 48” spans.
Step 1: Plotting Mounting Coordinates
a. Decide the best position for the collector array based on shading, aesthetics, wind factors, etc.
b. Determine your collector field length using the chart on page 3
c. Taking the rafters in consideration, mark the collector field length on the roof where the top rail will
be installed. A standard chalk line should work well. Be sure to mark a level line for aesthetics.
d. Measure down the roof 79.41 inches (2017mm) from the upper line and mark a second line parallel to
the first. These two lines represent where each roof hook will be aligned and the rails will be installed.

Step 3: Attaching the Rails
a. Set the rail in position. The upper rail will be attached to the bottom side of the roof hook. The
lower rail will be attached to the upper side of the roof hook.
b. Place the clamping plate between the rail and roof hook. Make sure the sliding channel is face-up
and the grooved channel is facing the roof hook. Press the clamping plate into the grooved
channels.
c. Screw the M8 x 22mm socket bolt into the channel, attaching the rail to the roof hook.
d. Repeat 2a through 2c for each roof hook, making sure the rail is level.
e. Connect two rails by using the Rail Connect and M8 x 22mm bolts and attach the end caps

In cases where the flashing does not fit under
the above shingle, it may be necessary to
notch out the shingle.

Step 4:Mounting the collectors
a. Position panel(s) on the rails.
b. If there is more than one panel, loosely connect them together. Make sure to include the graphite washer.
c. Once the panel(s) are in the desired position, attach the adjustable clamping plate to the panel using the
Hex bolts included on the ends of the collector.
d. Attach the adjustable clamping plate to the rail, using the M8x22mm bolts.
e. Make sure to return and tighten the connections between the panels.
