This week we installed a Rinnai close coupled solar hot water system with a 330 litre tank and two Excelsior panels on side pitch brackets for a tenanted property.

You can also get reverse pitch brackets. Here they are on another 330 litre system we installed a couple of years ago in the Perth foothills:
