Oho cs1 sol1.jpg
Development of technical solutions for assemblies and parts
Some guidelines were proposed to ensure the proper functioning of the equipment:
* Universal unions on manifold and tank connections
* Float and fisherman tube in the tank make-up water inlet
* Non-return valve in the collector water inlet
* Modular support structure, to maintain the height of the tank and allow the installation of the collector with different angles of tilt
  • Technical documentation
Creation of plans, parts lists, assembly instructions
Once all the necessary information was available, the project plans were prepared
  • Peer-Reviews
Peer-Reviews by the community, team members, experts etc.
A previous review stage was not carried out, but the technical observations were left for the formal certification stage, which is shown below.

5. Manufacturing, tests and improvements
