News And Current Information

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.

This past winter was long and slow for most of the Northeast. Many of us experienced seemingly endless snow accumulation, while others continue to face unpredictable market conditions.

Here at Sun Source, we spent the slower months beefing up our inventory and preparing for the spring/summer installation season. We have the largest SunEarth and Solar Industries inventory in the northeast, all available for immediate delivery. As well, we are committed to providing personal service and attractive pricing on everything from panels to tanks, hardware, controls, even nuts and bolts.

In addition, we are devoting more time to our on-line document library. Regulators and inspectors are an increasing presence in our daily lives, and we strive to provide you will all of the engineering documents, install manuals, tech data sheets, and warranty statements that you need, all in one place. Keep an eye on the Library section of the website for some new search and filtering capabilites over the next several weeks.

Due to increasing raw material prices, SunEarth has announced a 5% price increase on all models of 80 and 120 gallon solar storage tanks effective May 9, 2011.

Sun Source has tanks in stock, and any orders received before 5/9 will be at the current price.

Look for new tank pricing on our web catalog starting 5/9 in the following categories: Solar Tanks With Heat Exchangers and Solar Tanks Without Heat Exchangers.

Webstone has updated the casting of their #50613 combination valve (our part number PV-0055) by moving the ball valve so it is inline with the drain stem. This changes the functionality of the valve, as well as the closed loop system charging procedure.

We have updated our recommended charging procedure specifically for this fitting, and have included photos on proper valve orientation as well as handle positions for system charging.

The PDF of this updated document is now available in the library attachment section of PV-0055. We will also provide you with printed copies of these instructions as we have in the past.
