Collector Construction
Working Principle: the interior of a vehicle left in the sun in the middle of winter gets toasty warm
European designed, high quality and high performance collectors which resemble sleek skylights on your roof Compact and light weight for ease of installation, weight distribution Sized 3.5 x 6.5 only 64 lbs! Cost effective assembled in North America Backed by a 10 year manufacturers warranty SRCC approved with high performance ratings Over 10 Million Square Feet of Thermal Collectors sold per year!

aluminum frame collector 21.86 SF 20.30 SF 6-4 x 3-6 x 3 62 lbs 0.4 gal aluminum profile anodized black aluminum sheet high selective vacuum coated (PVD) 95 % 5% 3/4 copper 3/8 copper compression fittings 1/8 tempered low iron safety glass 89 % 5/8 PUR plate + 3/4 mineral wool 392*F under test conditions 145 psi propylene glycol/ distilled water, 40% individually wrapped, 15 per pallet
Product Benefits:
Laser-welded, full-surface absorber with highly selective coating; 10 year manufacturers warranty; Highest quality assurance program; Intelligent product design assures optimal value for the investment; Emission free, recyclable materials result in a long service life and environmentally friendly product; Tempered low iron safety glass; Maximum heat transfer between the full-surface absorber sheet and the copper riser pipes through state-ofthe-art laser welding technology; Easy transport and installation due to the low weight of only 62 lbs and a depth of only 3; European styled, high output, small foot print for best weight distribution.
3) Tele-Rack Mounting System Easily adjustable tele-rack hardware installs a collector array at the perfect tilt on a flat roof or on the ground. Kits include pivoting front feet, telescoping rear legs, Uchannel solar strut-rails, stainless steel bolts, washers, lock washers, nuts and T-clip lockdown assemblies.
Efficient: High performance collectors are only half of the equation. The secret to an effective solar hot water system lies in pulling the heat out of the collectors and putting it into the storage tank. The SolVelox does this better than any other freezeprotected system currently on the market. Compact: Optimized performance with a low profile look. All valves, pumps, controls and cleaning ports are fitted neatly into one easy-to-maintain package. Labor Savings: SolVelox is quick and easy to install. Once fastened and connected to the tank and the collectors are mounted on the roof, its just a question of running the insulated pipes from the collectors and connecting them to the SolVelox. Plug and Play - its that simple!
Officially Americas Most Efficient System in its class! OG-300 certified by the SRCC (Solar Rating and Certification Corp.) SolVelox achieved the highest rating of any of the freeze-protected solar hot water system using less than 95 square feet of collector area. The SEF rating given to the SolVelox translated to a solar fraction of 86% with 64 square feet of collector area. SolVelox, the pre-packaged, integrated solar thermal core, is designed for maximum efficiency at a minimum in installation time.
Tanks are supplied with or without internal, stainless steel, ribbed heat exchange coils
Adroit Solar installed two 940 gal.(T417-37) and one 1200 gal. (T419-45) Haase Energy Tanks for the HillN Dale Apt. Complex in San Diego, CA. The 1200 gal. tank will supply 32 units with 1480 gal of DWH per day, and the two 940 gal. tanks will supply a 26 unit and 24 unit building with 910 gal and 840 gal of DWH per day, respectively.
Independent Energy Systems installed this 940 Gal. Haase Energy Tank (T417-37) for the Sunset Magazine Idea Home series at the upscale Montera community in Monterey, CA. The Haase Energy Tank for this 6800 square foot, 5 bedroom/bathroom home will handle the DHW and the under-floor heating system.

Calculation for X1 and X2: 1) ZSP-1200 = 76 high; 2) Winter Solstice ~23.5; 3) Collector Tilt = 30
Therefore: X1 = h x cos (30*) = 76 x .866 = 65.8 or 5.50 or say: X1 = 5-6 H = h x sin (30*) = 76 x .500 = 38.0 or 3.16 or say: H = 3-2 X2 = H / tan a (23.5*) = 38 / .434 = 87.6 or 7.30 or say: X2 = 7-4 X1 + X2 = 12-10, say: 13-0 (toe to toe)

Thermal Solar Power Lease Purchase Agreement
Benefits:
No or low upfront costs to the system host Immediate savings through discounted rates for solar energy during the lease period Option to buy the system for 25% of the initial system price after 10 years
TSPLPA
Thermal Solar Power Lease Purchase Agreement
Prepare for the rising cost of fuel sources in the very near future; the current five year NYMEX Natural Gas Price Curve indicates an annual increase of 6% in NG rates TSPLPA is the logical alternative to eventual ownership as it provides the owner of a facility with all the benefits of a solar hot water system with little or no upfront cost This model is also of great advantage to non-profit entities for whom tax incentives are not available The solar system will become an attractive sales tool for the ecologically and economically-minded green marketing opportunities abound Solar Hot Water Systems increase sales values while reducing the average time-on-the-market for listed properties Solar hot water can help make facilities eligible for energy efficient certification and related additional energy tax credits
