ii)  Safety on the roof is  always  an important consideration. Avoid roof work  if it is  raining and ensure 
that the inside of the manifold does not get wet. Do not let rain enter the evacuated tubes. 
c)  Staff: At  least  2  people  are  required  to  complete an  installation.  Do not  attempt  to complete an 
installation  without  a  qualified  and experienced installation  team.  Roof  work  should  not be  performed 
without  a  second  installer  on-site.  Each  person  performing  work  on  the  roof  needs  to  have  their  own 
harness, rope, lanyard and anchor, in accordance with OSHA regulations.
d) Customer Service: When dealing with the customer, always  communicate clearly what the installation 
process will  involve, where you will be going (in the basement, on the roof), what noises  to expect, how long 
it will  take, how long until they will have hot water, etc. Make them feel comfortable that you know what you 
are doing and answer any questions they may have.
