Solar Collectors (Domestic Water Heating)
We carry various types of domestic water heating collectors by Sunearth including Flat Plate, ICS (Integrated Collector Storage), and Thermosiphon.
Flat Plate (Sunearth Empire Series) The Empire Series Liquid Flat Plate Collectors–The Solar Professional’s First Choice.
America’s leading distributors and contractors have made the SunEarth Empire Series liquid flat plate collectors the solar professional’s first choice. The Empire Series has everything that professional contractors demand in a solar collector: sleek appearance, high performance, versatility, ease of installation, and rugged field-tested durability. SunEath’s Empire Series collectors have over thirty-two consecutive years of engineering and design experience built into every product. The Empire Series collectors define quality and value in the North American market.
The Empire collectors’ versatility make them the best choice for residential, multi-family or commercial systems. Large diameter Type-M copper riser tubes allow the Empire collector to be used in glycol forced circulation, drainback, or open-loop system configurations depending upon the climate and application.
Available with either 1” or 1.5” internal headers, the Empire makes multi-family and commercial projects simpler to design, install, and maintain. The Empire’s large commercial headers allow more collectors to be safely installed in a bank while continuing to accommodate normal expansion and contraction in the fully plumbed array.
SunEarth Empire Series collectors come in four sizes (3'x7', 3'x8', 4'x8', 4'x10') with a choice of two high performance absorber coatings (Black Paint and Black Chrome).
Solar water heating should never be a gamble. With SunEarth’s Empire Series collectors professional contractors rest easy. They know their customers will enjoy trouble free and persistent energy savings for many years to come.

ICS - Integrated Collector Storage
The CopperHeart integral collector storage system, or ICS, combines thermal collection and storage in a single unit. The CopperHeart is engineered to meet the international demand for a simple, durable and inexpensive domestic water heating system. The retrofit CopperHeart installation typically serves as a solar preheater to the existing electric or gas water heater. For new construction the backup heater of choice is most often a compatible tankless gas water heater. In non-freeze climates the CopperHeart may be used as the primary water heater. For durability, reliability and simplicity of installation and operation the CopperHeart ICS has no peers.
If properly installed and maintained the CopperHeart ICS can safely be deployed in areas that experience occasional mild freeze conditons. SRCC Rated Freeze Tolerance: 20° F for 18 hours.

Thermosiphon (SunSiphon)
A Thermosiphon unit is a completely passive design that relies on buoyancy effects to circulate fluid through the collectors as opposed to the pumps and controllers found in active systems.
When sunlight strikes the collectors in the SunSiphon system it heats the food-grade antifreeze within them, which then rises due to buoyancy into the jacket-style heat exchanger on the bottom of the storage tank. Here the antifreeze transfers heat into the tank, becomes cooler, and sinks to the bottom of the collectors to repeat the process.
During periods of no sun, the cool fluid in the base of the collectors is not heated, does not rise, and thereby stops circulation of the antifreeze. In this manner, thermosiphon units achieve the operational characteristics of active systems but without the pumps and controls.

Pool / Spa Control Units
GL-235 (Goldline Pool Heating Control)
Description:
The GL-235 is designed to meet the need for easy installation, dependable operation, and serviceability. The GL-235 incorporates unique, microprocesser based construction to ensure reliability and accurate performance. The GL-235 offers advanced operating features to provide differential temperature control, selectable high limit, programmable recirculation freeze protection, nocturnal cooling and optional booster pump control.
AUTOMATIC HEATING: If the collectors are warmer than the pool water by 4N or more, and the pool is below the selected desired temperature, the valve will rotate allowing heat collection. This heat collection will stop when the solar sensor falls to within 1.5NF of the pool temperature or the pool temperature exeeds the “desired temperature” set on dial.
AUTOMATIC COOLING: (Field selectable option) If the collectors are cooler than the pool water by 6NF or more, and the pool is above the selected desired temperature, the valve will rotate allowing cooling via the solar collectors. The heat dissipation will stop when the collectors rise within 3NF of the pool temperature or the pool temperature is lowered below the set desired temperature.
SINGLE SETTING FOR DESIRED TEMPERATURE: The GL-235 logic is set by a single dial adjustment with the desired pool/spa temperatures clearly indicated. The dial is calibrated with the temperatures from 70NF to a high of 104NF for quick and easy, user-friendly operation. The temperature set indicates set pool/spa temperature, and the GL-235 will automatically determine if the water should be solar heated or cooled, thus maximizing the system capabilities.
TERMINAL STRIP CONNECTIONS: For input power, and sensor inputs. Controls also have industry standard 3 pin connectors for both forward and reverse valve actuator operation and screw terminal connectors.
LED INDICATORS: Show the status of the system operation, Four highly visible LED’s show 1) power to the control, 2) power output directing valves and/or pump to collect heat (heating), 3) power output directing valves and/or pump to dissipate heat (cooling), 4) sensor fault indicator shows sensor(s) not operating properly.
GL-235 VALVE OUPUT: Rating is the industry standard 24 VAC. A jumper switches the output to 12VAC for compatibility with older valve actuators. Output is fuse protected.
RECIRCULATION FREEZE PROTECTION: (field selectable operation) turns the GL-235 output ON, directing warmer pool/spa water through the collectors when near freezing temperatures are reached at the collector sensor. The GL-235 will allow recirculation when the collector temperature rises to 42NF. Two 10K Ohm sensors are required for operation. One or more freeze snap switches are recommended if freeze recirculation protection is utilized. Important--see installation instructions before using Recirculation Freeze.
SYSTEM TEST SWITCH: Allows the user to manually override the automatic function of the GL-235 and verify operation.
Specifications:
Power: 105-130VAC, .5A 50/60Hz. or 192-250VAC, .3A 50/60Hz.
Output: Low Voltage 12/24VAC,20VA,1.7/.85A 3 pin connectors for both forward and reverse operation Model GL-235-LV-HV also has terminal block connections

RexRack
RexRack provides solar professionals with an incredibly strong, versatile and modular residential and commercial racking solution. RexRack incorporates telescoping front and rear legs to accommodate uneven roof surfaces and to provide a range of slope adjustment for the array. RexRack is constructed from corrosion resistant anodized 6063-T6 structural aluminum. All fasteners are stainless steel. RexRack is differentiated from traditional mounting systems by eliminating lateral runners on the roof surface. RexRack runners are fabricated from 6063-T6 aluminum and are located directly under the solar collectors. By relocating the runners to the backside of the collectors, a reinforced lattice is created between the two strut runners and the collectors that are clamped to them. The array itself becomes a single unified rigid body, much like unibody construction in newer automobiles. When the array itself is rigid, the rear legs need only carry the vertical load of the array, eliminating the cross bracing required for lateral loads in conventional racking systems. RexRack is the clear racking choice in areas that are prone to high wind loads.
