Lowest cost residential-scale renewable energy system on the market. Create a green home for less!
A high quality renewable energy system made in California.
Reduce annual water heating cost by 30%-60% depending on location and hot water usage. Reduce carbon footprint and limit the impact of rising energy prices.
SunCache costs less than half as much as conventional solar water heating (SWH) systems, including installation costs, before and after incentives. It has excellent economics, with “simple paybacks” that are shorter than competing SWH systems, photovoltaics and small wind.
Qualify for many incentives, including the 30% federal renewable energy tax credit.
Extensive use of polymer materials to reduce copper and aluminum content. Prices of conventional systems are rising due to their high copper and aluminum content, but SunCache is made mostly from polymer materials (although all potable water is contained in copper).
Unlike most other SWH systems which are assembled by installers from products sourced from a variety of suppliers, SunCache is sold as a complete kit and requires installers to provide only PEX tubing (length varies depending on home configuration) and a thermostatic mixing valve (to match connection type). This reduces installation costs by moving most of the plumbing labor from the field to factory, where labor costs are lower and assembly times can be much faster. Installation is faster and easier, and code compliance is increased.
Installation is simple, fast and reliable. Installers with basic plumbing and construction experience can be trained in one day. SunCache is ideal for plumbers looking to expand their offerings and compensate for lost residential construction business, or photovoltaic installers looking for additional services for their customers. Do-it-yourself installations are also popular.
Low system weight and separate panel and glazing make it easy for two people to lift a SunCache unit onto a roof, eliminating the need for a crane.
Only passive SWH system certified with PEX tubing, which reduces cost, simplifies installation and dramatically improves freeze-resistance over copper piping.
