What is the Best Angle to Install my JinYi Solar Collectors at?
The general rule of thumb is to install your JinYi Solar Collectors at your Latitude plus 10 degrees. However, if your roof’s pitch falls within 5 – 10 degrees of this measurement, you can still simply flush mount your solar collectors to your roof without any loss of efficiency. Additionally, there are special installation angles designed to balance the performance of your systems between summer and winter operation. Deciding on the proper angle and direction for installing your solar collectors is of just as much importance as properly sizing your solar collectors. If the angle and direction of your collectors is not correct for your location, then your system will quickly lose efficiency and the return on investment will dramatically diminish.
