East/West or West

Pataman · 2010-09-06 08:30:54

Hi. I have 30 tubes on the west facing side. This gives me on a good day about 45C, in a 300L tank. I have just got another manifold and 30 more tubes. Would it be worth my while to put the other manifold on the east side for all day heating, or double up on the west side? Thanks Pat

Do you have a gable end South facing wall that you can mount them on?

I have found that we can frequently get sunny mornings followed by cloudy afternoons, so I would go east-west.

Agree with Dolanbaker, if you don't have any southern aspect then East/West is preferable to West only
