SunMaxx Solar Installs Solar Thermal System at Rancho Clancy in Rancho Mirage, California

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE –March 9, 2010 – Binghamton , NY – SunMaxx Solar, a leading, vertically integrated manufacturer of solar thermal systems and components, is pleased to announce the installation of a solar thermal system at Rancho Clancy in Rancho Mirage, California. Prestigious Rancho Clancy is a residential, single family property in the heart of Rancho Mirage, California. The custom home is situated on one acre in the Rancho Clancy development. The Solar installation, which was contracted, designed and installed by Michael R. Ditsler of Tiger Electric, Inc., purchased seven SunMaxx Solar Evacuated Tube Collectors for a supplemental pool heating system on the residential estate. The ballasted Utility Scale PV ground mount racking system holds approximately 64,000 lbs. of pre-cast concrete ballast block. The Solar Thermal Evacuated Tube system, which is the primary heating source for the homeowners' pool, is piped underground to a cupro nickel heat exchanger located adjacent to the pool filter and pump systems 120LF away from the collector field. High temperature and demand protection is offered though an open system employing a dump back tank and dual taco pumps for supply and return, as the collector field and dump back tank sit 30" below the level of the heat exchanger. All exposed piping has been insulated with an industrial grade aluminum covered insulation. In conjunction with the 20KW AC PV system, Tiger Electric, Inc. was able to re-size and utilize a retention basin that would have otherwise been unused or wasted space. Control for the primary SEVT System and the secondary natural gas fired pool heating system are prioritized by temperature using a mixing valve. The installation took 10 days total of construction time to finish and a YouTube video of the Solar Installation can be viewed at . Michael R. Ditsler of Tiger Electric comments, “ The Solar install at Rancho Clancy further aids in the property's green energy initiatives, and we couldn't be happier with SunMaxx Solar’s industry leading products which allowed for a successful design.” SunMaxx Solar will continue to develop and help procure the installation of solar thermal systems at residential estates across the nation.

SunMaxx Solar Launches Ballast Tray System

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – March 2, 2012 – Binghamton, NY – SunMaxx Solar, a leading, vertically integrated manufacturer of solar thermal systems and components, is pleased to announce that the solar industry leader has launched a new Ballast Tray System. The SunMaxx Solar Ballast Tray System fits all major solar modules and provides a reliable and long-lasting method to mount flat plates, evacuated tubes, or photovoltaic collectors to a flat roof without any penetrations to the roofing membrane. The ballast trays distribute weight over a large surface area providing for a lower roof load per square foot. Aluminum and stainless steel components are rust resistant to provide years of maintenance-free service. EPDM rubber pads on the bottom of the system increase friction and prevent roof surface abrasion. The trays hold standard 8 x 16 x 1-7/8" size blocks, which you can source locally. With these blocks in place in the ballast tray system, you can safely anchor your solar collectors without compromising the roofing membrane. One tray can hold 9 blocks weighing 15 lbs. each for a total of 147 lbs. per tray. Two SunMaxx TitanPower SU2 or 2.4 flat plate collectors can have up to 4 trays attached for a total of 588 lbs. between the two collectors. The low profile presents an aesthetically pleasing roof landscape. The simple design ensures quick, and therefore, low cost installation. The adaptable system works with flat plate, evacuated tube, and photovoltaic collectors. SunMaxx Solar Ballast Trays can be mounted on either or both sides of the rails, depending on the weight needed for the wind load. The ballast trays can accommodate custom designs for any size project. “The new offerings expand SunMaxx Solar's broad array of products and services into the solar market,” states Adam Farrell, CEO of SunMaxx Solar. “We are excited to introduce our new Ballast Tray system, which provides greater multifaceted green options to our customers.” SunMaxx Solar's Ballast Tray system is proudly made in the U.S.A.

SunMaxx Solar Installs Solar Thermal System At Brightly Farms in Hamlin, NY

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – February 28, 2012 – Binghamton, NY – SunMaxx Solar, a leading, vertically integrated manufacturer of solar thermal systems and components, is pleased to announce the installation of a solar thermal system at Brightly Farms. The project was contracted by Matt Beres at Simply Solar Systems who designed and installed the system after a faulty wood and fuel oil heating system burned the vegetable farm's repair shop to the ground in the fall of 2010. When Brightly Farms' new shop was being designed, a key component was the heating system. Simply Solar Systems approached Brightly Farms with the option of adding a solar thermal system from SunMaxx Solar to supplement their heating and hot water needs. The farm chose radiant floor heating throughout the entire concrete floor of the 10,400 sq. ft. building. Brightly Farms was pleased to purchase a SunMaxx Solar drainback system from Simply Solar Systems that would supply 100% of their hot water needs and about 70% of their heating needs. The system is composed of an 822 gallon non-pressurized storage tank with two heat exchangers: (2) 200' coils for the radiant floor and (1) 100' coil for the hot water. The drainback system was plumbed into the heating system using copper, plumbed into the domestic hot water using Pex, and plumbed into the solar collectors using Aquatherm piping. The solar collectors used were the VHP-30's (Vacuum Heat Pipe, 30 Tube). Fourteen collectors in total were used in this job to maximize efficiency of the system. Matt Beres of Simply Solar Systems comments, “The solar thermal system is fully installed, working great, and Brightly Farms couldn't be happier that they no longer need to rely on fossil fuels for heat, but instead harness the power of the sun, thanks to SunMaxx Solar's industry leading products and design assistance!” Located in Hamlin, NY, Brightly Farms cultivates a wide array of vegetation including apples, pumpkins, cabbage, and melons. SunMaxx Solar is proud to announce that the installation by Simply Solar Systems using SunMaxx Solar products on the farm's property is greatly reducing the carbon footprint of the farm, further aiding in reaching its agricultural green energy initiatives. Adam Farrell, CEO of SunMaxx Solar comments, “We are thrilled that this successful installation will help Brightly Farms harvest crops with the power of Solar Energy. The trend of solar power sprouting up across the nation’s farms is emblematic of the connection between the earth, economy, SunMaxx Solar, and through the partnership of Simply Solar Systems, who was the perfect spokesperson for the job.” SunMaxx Solar will continue to develop and help procure the installation of solar thermal systems at farmsteads, plantations, ranches and agricultural estates across the nation.
