Optimal airflow: In a leaky building there is no need for an exhaust/pressure valve.
However, a valve for air outlet should be installed in a very tight building. As far as
possible inject the air into the driest room and extract from the most humid room to
eliminate the risk of leading the moisture through the rest of the building.
Position: The panel can be installed either vertically or horizontally. In a vertical
position it can be turned, so the injection takes place either in the top or bottom,
and by horizontal position either to the right or left.

The hole: Drilling through a wall can be challenging and the tools needed to make
the hole will depend on the material of the wall. Contact your local SolarVenti
installer for further advice regarding the drilling and the installation.
Take care not to drill into cables, power sockets, etc. The optimal diameter of the
hole is Ø133 mm on the inside and Ø140 mm on the outside. However, it is possible
to use a diameter of Ø135 mm both inside and outside.

Cable: The cable of the Solar Air Collector may either go through the hole of the air
inlet – as shown above – or a separate 6-8 mm hole may be drilled in the position
desired.

The pressure losses in the SolarVenti standard panels are proportional to the air
flow per m² of collector. The pressure losses only refer to the collector itself and do
not take the specific installation (pipes, inlet valve etc.) into account.
In order to have protection against possible lighting, the installation should be
carrying on according with the norm EN 62305.
