Collectors:

Platinum Series Collectors - Attractive, low profile black aluminum box with low iron solar glass for maximum transmittance. The absorber plate features the world's top rated blue sputtered Tinox coating on the copper fins which are ultrasonically welded to 11 copper risers. ➙ more

Gold Series Collectors - Black chrome absorber plate housed in black aluminum box with low iron solar glass.

Silver Series Collectors - Selective Black Paint absorber coating on the same high quality absorber plate and black aluminum box. Great value for warm climates!

Other components:

Brazed plate heat exchangers - Maximize your system's performance with a brazed plate heat exchanger. Totally sealed stainless steel construction, copper brazed with a high performance heat transfer surface to promote low fouling. Rated at 450 psi working pressure, both sides. U.L. Listed, European TUV and optional ASME code construction.

Steca Controls - The Steca model TR 0301 U differential temperature control provides automatic, safe and reliable operation of domestic solar water heating systems. The TR 0301 U output is wired to a pump that circulates the heat transfer fluid between the solar thermal collectors and the storage tank during the course of the day. The LCD gives the homeowner a variety of real time information including system temperatures at up to three separate locations. The consistent use of simple pictograms ensures ease of operation and troubleshooting. In addition to the primary function of turning the circulating pump on and off during the day, the TR 0301 U provides important diagnostic and safety functions. For example, the LCD pictograms will indicate fault conditions such as sensor shorts or pump failures.

Pumps - The SolVelox uses all bronze high efficiency pumps for low maintenance and high solar fraction.

Integral Heat Exchange Tanks - These tanks incorporate state-of-the-art engineering, rugged construction and select materials resulting in durable solar storage tanks, which are environmentally friendly and energy efficient.
