Help for Solar Virgin

[WHPES]

Hi. I must confess that I know very little about solar at all.

I am looking at the possibility of solar panels at my place as I am eventually going to get round to replacing the system for an unvented one and am considered solar as well.

The thing is my roof has a very shallow pitch. It is a flat roof with a ridge at one end at about 2ft above the flat section. Is there a minimum pitch which the panels must be inclined on?

The cylinder is directly below the flat roof so piping to it would be fairly straightforwards.

you can get brackets so that you can install on flat roof.

Do the panels need to be inclined or can they go flat?

veissmann vitosol vacuum tubes are ok to lie on a flat roof.

Also Thermomax DF100 tubes can be installed on the flat.
