On a normal domestic single collector installation, DN 16 stainless steel flexible pipe is preferable as this makes the installation of the solar loop easier. However if the installation is to be expanded it is wise to consider upgrading the pipe to allow for the addition of extra panels in the future. With any installation it is sensible to locate the collector as close to the domestic hot water cylinder as possible.
