4 Product features and descriptions
The Dimplex Solar Free standing kit offers a simple and secure method of securing the
SOLC220 solar collectors to a flat roof or any other flat mounting area. The collectors
can be installed at angles from 45° to 60° with the basic kit. Shorter rear struts are
available expanding the installation angles to 25° at the lower end.
Due to the flexible connections between the collectors up to 10 collectors can be directly
mounted together. Should more than 10 collectors be required the collector array has to
be split into fields which are connected in parallel to each other.

The area required (A x B) to install the free standing collector or collector array can be
easily calculated from the formula, B = 1085mm + (n-1)1240mm where n repre-
sents the number of collectors from 1 to 10, A and C are read from table 2.
