 CAUTION
Do not, under any circumstances, use kraft paper-faced insulation of
any kind in solar collectors. There is a very real possibility of the
paper catching fire.
Mounting Hardware
Tighten all loose hardware, and replace any missing parts. Look across collector
arrays to find and correct misaligned collectors. This is one or more collectors
facing in a slightly different direction. It has been compared to the appearance of
butterfly wings. (Figure 5-4)

Misaligned
Collectors
If any of the connections between the mounting hardware and the building are loose
or missing, repair them. Examine the other mounting points to determine how to do
this. Remember, the biggest load on these points is upward, as the wind tries to lift
the collectors.
