System Overview and Defaults
Both the 10-01 and 20-01 Collectors are OG-100 Rated and qualify for Federal Tax Credits*

Overview

There are a great variety of needs by different customers and we have attempted to give the greatest flexibility with the following systems and pricing.

Open Loop System 3 is designed to be installed with an existing or added standard water heating tank(s).

Closed Loop System 5 REQUIRES a heat exchange tank to use along with or replace your existing tank. For the OG-300 rating, it must be a Rheem Heat Exchanger tank.  This system is designed for climates with freeze conditions.

Systems should be sized to have a minimum of 1 gallon of storage per each square foot of collector area, 1.5 or 2 gallon of storage per each square foot of collector area is recommended to prevent overheating.

For any system: Two (2) 10-01 collectors can be substituted for One (1) 20-01 collector and visa versa. For systems 3 and 5, this substitution also qualifies for OG-300.*


*The Solar Rating and Certification Corporation provides certification programs and national rating standards for solar energy equipment. The OG-100 (collector) & OG-300 (system) certified collectors and systems qualify for the 30% Federal Tax Credit.

System Code Explanation - Example: Collector Model X001YZC50
 X = 1001 or 2001 (10 or 20 s/f collectors, series 01)
 Y = System, 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 (if for collectors only, this number is skipped)
 Z = Quantity of collectors; where Z, for residential, = 1 through 4 (20-01), 1 through 8 (10-01)
   C = Collectors        50 = SRCC rated Capacity of the Water Heater, usually 50 or 80 gallons.

Separated by a dash or slash, all Numbers and Letters following the system code are Options and are usually listed in groups of 4 to 6      EXAMPLE: SSC1 = Optional Side by Side Collector Array Installation Kit.
 

Important Note:

These Attractive “Skyline” Systems are 100% RUN BY THE SUN. They are Powerful, Durable Systems that are Dramatically More Complete, as well as Easier and Safer to Install than Conventional Solar Systems.  These are Major and Important Selling Points which give them important advantages over all competition. Not just different, but a truly better value for your customer.



Skyline System Defaults

• Musket Brown (C101) is the Standard Color (Free Medium Dove Gray (C109) color option also available)
• Stacked Flush Mount Rail system (MR#C) is included with all systems

STANDARD Example: 200132C would be a System 3 with 2 Musket 20-01 collectors stacked with 3 rails.

A Side by Side Option (SSC1) applies for even numbers of collectors only at $60.00 extra.

Example: 100112C-SSC1 or 200112C-SSC1 would be (2) 10-01 or (2) 20-01 collectors, System 1 with Side by Side Install Option.  The 10-01 kit would be supplied with (4) full single collector mounting rails and hardware, (2) for each 10-01 collector. The 20-01 kit would be supplied with (6) full single collector mounting rails and hardware, (3) rails for each collector.

• No Soldering is needed for all Standard Solar Loops yet it may be required for tank installation, and will be required for installing the standard tempering valve (included with the system 3 (20 s/f +) and system 5) to the tank. See: System Tempering Valve Options page 5.
• ALL solar loop components and connections are included with system 3 and 5 kits.

Configurations are Determined by whether you have a Tropical, Temperate, or Freeze Climate as well as Desired Options such as PV, Tilt, Color, Etc…

General Sizing Guidelines
 Systems should be sized to have a minimum of 1 gallon of storage per FT2. of collector area, more in hot climates. One 10-01 collector is good for situations such as campers, boats, cabins or as a start to energy independence at home.

To supply 60% - 85% of the hot water needs from solar for residential applications in warm climates the following is recommended: (2) 10-01 collectors, or (1) 20-01 collector for the first person, and (1) additional 10-01 collector per person or (1) 20-01 for every 2 people.

In cloudy and/or cold areas where a heat exchanger is needed add (2) 10-01 collectors, or (1) 20-01 for the second person.
Example:  A family of 4 in New England should have either six (6) 10-01 or three (3) 20-01 collectors.

Standard Color is Musket Brown (CO101), with a Free option of Dove (Medium) Gray (C109)
