PVC Solar Strip Collector Builder

Instructions

First use our sizing calculators to get an idea of how many m² you'll need to install. Then use this strip collector builder to formulate a layout plan for your roof space. Drag the outer red dots or edge lines to match your available roof dimensions. Have a complex roof shape? Create an extra roof outline dot by hovering over an edge and clicking on the appearing light coloured dot. Drag an added dot onto the next dot to remove it. On the collector strips, drag the red dot(s) at the end of loops to shorten them, creating off-cuts for a narrow roof space. Strip runs shortened to 6.25 m can be configured to have the return leg loop back out at the manifold so that there are four strip runs per manifold (a red dot / loop-back option will appear for shortened runs). Note, all runs should be roughly the same distance - the builder will produce a warning if a loop run length is less than 80% of the longest loop.

On a phone, pinch to zoom in for finer control or turn it sideways.
