COST EFFECTIVE, ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY, MAINTENANCE FREE SOLAR HOT WATER SYSTEMS
 |
Solar hot water systems are environmentally friendly and can now be installed on your roof to blend with the architecture of your house. More than 1.5 million homes and businesses in the United States have invested in solar heating systems, and surveys indicate that over 94% of these customers consider the systems a good investment. |
The single pane 4 mm solar glass is patterned to reduce
reflection and is tempered to maximize strength and
durability. The low iron oxide content of 0.03% enables a
high solar transmittance of 91%.
The absorber plate consists of copper fins coated with a
German-engineered blue sputtered coating, the most
efficient absorber coating without exception. |
The absorption rate is 95% with extremely low emissivity of 5%. 1/2" copper risers are brazed to 1" copper manifolds for
optimal flow distribution. SOLARHOT collectors have 11 risers
- that means the heat travels a shorter distance before
being picked up by the solar fluid.
The black aluminum extrusion casing looks attractive on a
roof with no unsightly bolts or screws. The all-around EPDM
gasket is highly resistant to temperature variations and UV
radiation. Factory-installed unions on the headers and
quick locking safety clips make rooftop installation quick
and easy.
Polyurethane foam insulation is sprayed into the cavity to
lock in the heat even on the oldest days. On top of the
polyurethane we add a layer of mineral wool and an
aluminum foil radiant barrier for extra insulation to trap the
heat.
The aluminum back plate is lightweight, long lasting and
corrosion resistant.
