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. Adam Farrell, CEO of SunMaxx Solar comments, “We are thrilled that our partnership with Tiger Electric Inc. has proven another successful SunMaxx Solar installation .” SunMaxx Solar aims to build a sustainable future for our global community and is proud that the company's installations greatly contribute to reducing the carbon footprint. In today’s energy consuming world, SunMaxx offers world-class solar energy and renewable products, striving to meet the increasing need for alternative energy sources.

SunMaxx Solar Participates in Intersolar 2011

San Francisco, CA (July 13, 2011) – SunMaxx Solar's CEO Adam Farrell participated in the Solar Heating & Cooling – Markets and Policies session at InterSolar North America. During the panel discussion a portion of the group dealt with such topics as dealing with the general condition of the solar thermal market in North America, along with the roadblocks and hurdles faced nationally in the industry. The panel included industry leaders Adam Farrell, Chief Executive Officer, SunMaxx Solar, USA, Ron Kamen, President, New York Solar Energy Industries Association, U.S. , Dr. Lucio Mesquita, Thermosol Consulting, U.S. , Rick Reed , President, Sunearth, U.S., Alexander Zhihov, U.S. Army, U.S. Some of the main discussions included the current policy and incentive programs in North America for solar thermal technologies, and the effectiveness of these programs across the country. While there are several programs in place, the industry has seen a slow adoption of solar thermal technology due to many factors including competition against photovoltaics “solar electric”, and lack of consumer education on solar thermal systems. The improvements to the incentive programs, New York specifically, are vast and attractive but they are still facing many barriers. An example brought to the discussion was the difficulty of locating customers who qualify for the RPS electric rebate program. The general consensus of this elite group, was the need to bring the solar thermal sector together. The group felt they need to promote the widespread use of solar thermal technologies and help build the North American market to its potential. Current solar associations have yet to provide the attention and detail to the solar thermal industry due to competition from solar electric technologies. These discussions will take place in the upcoming months and construct a concrete road-map for solar thermal in North America.

SunMaxx at Solar Power International in Los Angeles October 12-14

Solar Power International Booth Solar Power International (SPI), previously called Solar Power Conference and Expo, was created in 2004 when the Solar Electric Power Association (SEPA) and the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) joined together in partnership to fill an obvious void: North America was missing a business-to-business solar conference and expo. With an industry growth rate of more than 40% per year, there was a need for a single event where industry could come together with potential customers, policymakers, investors, and other parties necessary for continued rapid growth. It didn’t take long for the event to establish itself as the premiere solar event in the US, growing from 1,100 attendees to over 24,000 in just six years! There are many existing and new solar events popping up around the US. However, Solar Power International has been established as the only “must attend” solar event in the US. It is the largest solar conference and expo in North America, currently by a factor of more than 5, and attracts the widest range of professional attendees. The event also educates consumers through a one-night public opening of the expo hall. Solar Power International 2010 takes place October 12-14 in Los Angeles, CA. SunMaxx Solar will be displaying a variety of new solar thermal products, as well as have solar experts on hand to answer any questions pertaining to their industry-leading product line and turnkey hot water heating solutions. SunMaxx will also highlight its outstanding dealer/installer program. Individuals in the plumbing, construction or HVAC professions will have the opportunity to see how SunMaxx Solar can help them expand and grow their business by becoming certified SunMaxx dealer/installers.
