News And Current Information

SunEarth RexRack strut is now available in 25' lenghts. We are now receiving product in this length direct from the SunEarth factory in California. See our part number 07-RX0525 for 25' black anodized material.

As with the 20' lengths, this can only be shipped via our truck by special arrangement due to the length. Large quantities are in stock now!

Remember, we can always custom cut any length that you need for your project to minimize cost on your end. Give us a call with your dimensions and we'll be happy to quote any length for you.

We have been gearing up this winter for the upcoming season, and brushing up on newer technologies. Among these, we have set up a SunReports demo on a solar thermal system here in NJ.

If you have a customer that is considering monitoring, you can now show them exactly what the display screens look like before having to commit to an expensive solution.

Simply visit our demo at www.sunsourceproducts.com/demo/sunreports and you can view both versions of the SunReports iFrame on a live, working system.

Our demo system is a residential Apollo 1 monitoring a 64 sq. ft. closed loop glycol system with a Rheem 80HE tank. The panels on this system are 30 year old Grumman black chrome collectors, so the next time someone challenges the reliability of these systems, direct them to our link!

Watch for a similar Steca demo coming this year.

Chlorine salt generators are becoming more commonplace on both new and existing swimming pools as a replacement for traditional chlorination methods. If you are installing solar pool heating systems, chances are you have run across a salt generator in the field.

Some installers have asked us what the implications of salt generators are to solar pool collectors. The simple answer is: not much. All Aquatherm panels are manufactured of high quality polypropylene, a very inert material that is not bothered by traditional pool chemistry or the elevated salt content present with chlorine generators.

A good installation tip is to ensure that the solar pool heating system is installed after the chlorine generator. In many cases, this should make the install smoother, and more importantly, will elminate sending air through the salt generator when the solar system turns on.

As you all know the cost of many items, especially plastic and copper, has risen over the past few months due the increasing price of oil and world commodity pricing on metals. We have held off passing through these increases until our stock of materials from the winter was finally depleted. We now have to finally raise prices on some of our items. The increases, which are effective immediately, cover all Goldline products (Controls, sensors, valves and actuators), all Aquatherm solar pool heating products (including Solar Industries and SunSwim solar pool heating panels), Rheem and SunEarth solar storage tanks (with and without heat exchangers) and many PVC products including pipe and fittings.

All pricing on the web site catalog has been updated, so please verify that you have correct pricing on items you commonly purchase from us. As soon as raw material prices start to decline, hopefully this Fall, we will pass those savings along to you.

Sun Source Energy Products is pleased to announce that the Steca Wireless Router (TK RW2) is now available as a special order item, part number MD-2000. The TK RW2 connects directly to a Steca 603 controller and will update a Kodak wireless picture frame (or equivalent) with the current system operating details. This makes for a great display for demonstration purposes, or for those customers looking for an attractive way to monitor system performace.

For a more comprehensive monitoring solution than the Steca router, we also now have available the SunReports Apollo1 and Apollo2 monitoring solutions. These units can work on any system, new or existing, and a Grundfos flow meter is required to realize their full potential. 5 years of SunReports monitoring service is included. Our supplier has negotiated attractive volume pricing, and we pass those savings on to you. See our part numbers MD-2100 and MD-2110.

The Sun Source Energy Products office will be closed Monday & Tuesday, 7/11/11 and 7/12/11. We will be checking voicemail those 2 days, so please leave us a message and we'll return your call.

We will be back in the office on Wednesday, 7/13/11. We hope you are enjoying your summer, and we look forward to continuing to provide you with the highest quality, Made In the USA solar energy products.
