Solar In the News:

On May 5, 2006, the Florida Legislature enacted a comprehensive energy bill, Senate Bill 888.

The sweeping legislation establishes the nine-member Florida Energy Commission, provides matching grants to stimulate economic development, designates Energy Efficient Week with a sales tax holiday on energy-efficient appliances and other products, and establishes the Renewable Energy Technologies Grants program to encourage the purchase of photovoltaic and solar thermal systems.

The Orange County Convention Center's massive rooftop will soon shoulder the largest solar project in Florida and the Southeast at one megawatt of clean renewable solar energy. County officials granted the contract to Johnson Controls, Inc. in partnership with Solar Source on July 8, 2008 to blanket the roof of the nation's second-largest convention center with panels that can turn sunshine into energy, without producing pollution.

Corona Features & Benefits

Absorber Plate

Utilizing a state-of-the-art ultrasound weld, copper fins and risers provide superior thermal connectivity between the fins and risers. Revolutionary coating is black chrome on nickel, producing a premium selective surface with maximum efficiency for solar energy use. Absorbability = 0.95

Tubing Grid

3/8" copper risers are brazed to 1" copper mainfolds for optimal flow distribution.

Piping Grid

Four 1 " Type M copper tubes.

Aluminum Foil

Attached to the insulation, acts as a barrier against out-gasing.

Solar Glass Glazing

A single pane of 1/8” thick solar glass is patterned to reduce reflection and tempered to maximize strength and durability. *Iron oxide content: 0.03%

Back Plate

Made of fiberglass for maximum benefit.

Insulation

1-3/16” polyurethane foam cast under and around the side of the absorber plate, retains the heat of the water in the collector. DFC-free P.U. meets U.S. and European standards.

Casing

All aluminum extrusion casings create a sleek framewall. Unique extruded profile allows easy anchoring to the roof (shingle, tile, tar) or collector stands.

Gaskets

All-around EPDM gasket. Highly resistant to temperature differences and UV radiation. Absorbs the differential expansion of frame and glazing.
