New Distributor relationship with Earthkind Solar
02 Apr 10 | Solar Hot Water, Uncategorized
Starting this year, we have a new dealership with Earthkind Solar for thermal and PV systems. I like Earthkind because they are a local company and are very responsive to my needs as a dealer installer and to the local customers.
Their solar thermal line is Phoenix Systems collectors, line sets and pump stations. From an installer perspective, having a prepackaged system eliminates several hours of on site work and makes installations go very fast. Here is the equipment list for the base system:
Phoenix Classic SDHW system -
- 2 Infinity 323 flat plate collectors
- Dimensions: 7.09′ x 3.77′ x 0.31′ each, Area in total 54.04 sq ft
- Stainless steel flex pipe to connect collector to line set
- Complete pitched roof assembly kit, includes racks
- Station type Flow-Con-C with pump built in, type WILO-STAR S21 U15
Controller/included in solar pump station BS3 and 2 sensors - 6.57 gallon expansion tank with connecting kit
- 5 gallons 50% Propolene glycol antifreeze mix
Tanks are sold separately. The tanks are Bradford White 75 or 120 gallon with one or two double walled internal heat exchangers. The advantages are:
- Modular design speed configuration and installation
- Collectors are light weight (86 lbs vs 153 lbs)
- fast racking system
- Stainless Steel flexible pipe set available in 50 or 75′ lengths, no soldering required
- Corn based glycol
I look forward to working with Earthkind solar.
