SunEarth, a solar water heating products manufacturer, has developed its new SunBelt series of liquid flat-plate solar thermal collectors. The collector features an anodised extrusion, a standard SunEarth all-copper absorber with water-based flat black paint, tempered glass, polyisocyanurate insulation, and standard 0.75-inch headers. The SunBelt is backed by a standard 10-year limited warranty.

The company says the collector has been designed with the demanding climatic conditions of the U.S. Southwest in mind, but notes that it can also be used successfully in other climate zones. SunEarth says the collector's benefits include lower stagnation temperatures than black-chrome or moderately selective absorber plates; reduced system overheating; prolonged propylene glycol and storage tank life expectancies; reductions in thermostat reset service calls; and low initial cost.
