The
Cansolair Solar Max 240 consists of a four by seven solar
collector (28 Square feet, or 2.6 square meters). Solar Max 240
has 15 vertical columns of cylindrical shape, making the actual surface
exposed to the sun greater than 2.6 square meters.The same cylindrical
shape allows the Solar Max to receive solar radiation for a longer
period due to the angle of incidence of the sun hitting the solar panel.
Peak BTU performance was observed during the noon hour period in October
2001 wherein the temp rise was 50 to 54F degrees resulting in a 9000 to
9720 Btu or 2636 to 2847 Watts. Peak BTU performance will actually
increase in colder weather due to the rise in temperature between input
and output temperature and a lower angle of incidence.
The
Solar Max 240 has a quick response rate of 8 minutes from the
appearance of sun to “cut-in” based on 100 degree F output temperature.
Solar Max 240 uses the most conductive black paint available for
solar collectors. Solar Max uses a lexan outer cover which allows
sunlight in and is resistant to the elements.
Heat of up to 10,000 BTU (or more),when the sun is out provides a warm
flow of air to heat your house. This is like having 3Kw of heat
circulating in your home which will feel warmer than a typical 3KW
electric heater. An electric heater does not cause the air to flow.Solar
Heat is environmentally friendly and does not produce any emissions into
the atmosphere. Solar Heat is available when the sun is out and there is
no cost of consumption. Solar Heat will not increase in costs resulting
in no unknown negative impacts on your budget. The Costs of the Solar
Max 240 are all the costs you will incur to generate supplementary
heat for your home. You will not have to do any further work, such as
cutting wood, in order to realize savings on your heating bill. Install
the Solar Max 240 and sit back and enjoy the heat and the savings.
Economic payback is estimated to be 3-6 years.
