Every effort, however, should be made to keep height above the roof to a minimum. Solar collectors and support structures shall be composed of durable, non-glare, and non-reflective high-quality materials.

The first step in calculating the inter-row spacing for your modules is to calculate the height difference from the back of the module to the surface. To do that, follow this calculation below:

Wall collectors will probably be limited to 200 ft2 or less, and roof collectors will use the entire available roof area, perhaps 350 to 500 ft2. A standard rule-of-thumb is that the collector area should equal 1/5

The analysis was carried out at various collector areas (15, 150, and 600 m 2) and various chimney heights (5, 10, and 15 m). The model was validated by comparing the results with the experimental
