80 Gallon Solar Hot Water Tank

80 Gallon Solar Hot Water Tank:
On average, a family of four in the U.S. uses about 80 gallons of hot water each day. To heat that water with electricity takes about 16 pounds of coal. In sunny Colorado, a standard solar hot water system can supply 60% - 95% of this energy, pollution free from the sun, while saving its owners about $250 per year.

Our 80 Gallon SunMaxx Solar Hot Water Storage Tank is designed with efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and style in mind. Each tank is made of stainless steel and features 3" of insulation for maximum heat retention in addition to two internal heat exchangers for heat transfer from your collector loop for your potable water. You can run this tank in series with a second tank which uses electric, gas, oil or wood, as a backup heating source for your hot water.

On sunny days, however, when a typical solar system can raise water to 140°F, the backup heater remains off. On-demand hot water heaters (which heat needed water instantly "on-demand") can also be used as a back-up system for solar hot water.

*This tank is available in a Stainless Steel (gray) finish or Stainless Steel with a Painted (white) finish. Depending on stock availability, you may receive either model with your order.
