Product Information

Uses heat pipes to collect heat to the water supply. This solar heater can work under high pressures and can supply hot water to high and far away places.
Product model: SC58## (## = number of tubes)
Use of heat pipes allows for high heat absorption efficiency and rapid heat transfer. Also allows for freeze-protection for year round use.
Easy plugin-in design and installation.
Corrosion resistent aluminum manifold and frame.
Optional 37° or 45° frame included for ground/flat roof installation. Can withstand wind velocity of 36m/s (81 mph)
Can supply hot water to both small and large tanks of water and meet small and high demands.
Economical for homes, hotels, schools, domitories, hospitals and any other tall buildings.

Definitions for sizing chart & information:

Item Number	Our item number for identification of product.
Specs	Diameter and length of vacuum tubes.
# of tubes	Number of tubes for specified system.
Absorber area	Surface area of the tubes exposed to the sun.
Daily Output Volume	This is the volume of water which can be heated to 50°C/122°F on a daily basis for consumption. Assume a maximum of 40 liters (10 gallons) per person per day.
Suggested Tank Size	suggested size of the solar water heater storage tank. Select a larger than recommended tank when large volumes of water may need to be used within a short period of time. Larger tanks will store lower temperature water while smaller tanks will store hotter water . The more water that needs to be heated, the more energy it will take to boost up the overall temperature of the tank.
# of people recommended for	This is how many people per household the heater is recommended for. Preferences may vary based on each household. If little or no backup heating is preferred, or hotter water is desired, it is best to oversize by 1 or 2 units. 30 tube units are most popular for most households since they maximize the cost to heat output ratio.
Spare tubes provided	number of extra vacuum tubes provided with the system. These are meant for breakage insurance during freight, and may be kept by the customer as spares. Spare tubes are not replaced if broken in transit.
