31 There is a huge variety of industrial applications (mining, wine industry, food industry, greenhouses, laundries, etc...) which involve processes needing a supply of medium temperature hot water. The use of solar energy for these applications makes above mentioned processes more efficient with much lower energy costs. The installation of solar thermal energy in hotels for both hot water and swimming pools, can handle a very high proportion of the energy needs of the hotel, providing considerable savings. In the industrial and residential sectors solar thermal energy is used as an ideal backup for geothermal energy. The application of solar thermal energy for the heating of sanitary hot water in residential buildings substantially increases the energy efficiency of the building, leading to significant savings. Various solutions exist, depending on the type of building, to maximise the efficiency of the system.

35 MOUNTING SYSTEMS AND ACCESSORIES The range of mounting systems for SOL, Mediterráneo and SLIM collectors are designed to reduce installation times to a minimum. Aluminium construction to ensure a long service life. The mounting systems are supplied pre-assembled at the factory, so installation time is minimal. MOUNTING SYSTEM FOR FLAT ROOF Allows the slope to be varied from 30 to 55. For rows of more than two collectors supplements must be fitted from the third collector onwards. For example, in a row of 5 collectors, one support must be fitted for every two collectors and three supplements.

36 MOUNTING SYSTEM FOR SLOPING ROOFS For rows of more than two collectors supplements must be fitted from the third collector onwards. For example, in a row of 5 collectors, one support must be fitted for every two collectors and three supplements. Fitting for tile mounting. The mounting kit allows you to install the mounting systems for sloping roofs. Sloping roof mounting systems are supplied with an accessory for fitting screws through the tile. An accessory may also be supplied which allows the bracket to be fitted without the need to drill holes in the tile. It is designed to be installed with any type of tile.
