U.S. Homeowners still have time to Take Advantage of Rebates for Solar Thermal High Efficiency Water Heating and Storage

Solar Pump Stations
The Lochinvar/TiSUN Commercial Solar Pump Station is an all-in-one solar pumping package, complete with a Differential Solar Control that offers eight different system capabilities and Btu metering. Available in three sizes, the pump station is designed to provide adequate flow through up to 1,000 square feet of collector area. The unit features a variable speed pump, flow meter, air separator, flush and fill valves, safety group and EPP two-piece installation.

The Commercial Solar Pump Station constantly monitors the collector and tank temperature; as the tank temperature cools below set-point and the difference between the two temperatures reaches a field adjustable differential-point, the control starts the circulation pump. If the variable speed pump feature is utilized, the differential control adjusts the speed of the pump to achieve the highest temperature difference between the collector and the tank. This large temperature difference harvests the solar heat in the most efficient manner possible.

When the constant flow feature is used, the pump operates at a steady speed until the tank reaches its desired temperature or there is no longer a sufficient difference between the collector and the tank temperature to heat the tank.

The Commercial Solar Pump Station is offered with a two-year limited warranty.

Home owners in the U.S. still over 3 months remaining to take advantage of  government rebates for installing energy efficient water heating systems including solar thermal collection. The American Recovery and Re-investment Act offers homeowners up to $1,500 in tax credits for energy efficiency improvements to their primary residence! Upgrade your home heating boiler or water heating system (between Jan. 1, 2009 and Dec. 31, 2010 and receive a tax credit of up to 30% of the installed cost not to exceed $1,500).

Tax credits available to homeowners include hot water boilers with efficiencies equal to or greater than 90% AFUE and water heaters with Thermal Efficiencies equal to or greater than 90%. Units must be placed into service in the taxpayer’s primary residence.

Solar Thermal System Accessories
The Lochinvar/TiSUN line also includes an extensive offering of solar thermal system accessories. From Control Valves to Automatic Air Vents and Flush & Fill Pumps, these accessories and many more are designed for use with any commercial solar application.

“This partnership between Lochinvar and TiSUN is a natural fit, and we feel confident and well-prepared as we enter the expanding North American solar thermal market with this new-found synergy,” stated Bill Vallett, president of Lochinvar Corporation. “By harnessing TiSUN’s two decades of experience in the solar market and combining that expertise with Lochinvar’s position as a leading innovator within the heating industry, this advanced line is being brought to market by two manufacturers known throughout the world for superior quality, energy-efficient products.”

The Lochinvar/TiSUN line will be on display at the Solar Power International Show in Los Angeles, CA from October 12 -14, 2010. For more information, visit www.Lochinvar.com.
