Alternate Energy Hawaii - Solene Corona Panels

Corona Panel Features:¹

Absorber Plate Utilizing a state-of-the-art ultrasound weld, copper fins and risers provide superior thermal connectivity between the fins and risers. Revolutionary coating is black chrome on nickel, producing a premium selective surface with maximum efficiency for solar energy use. Absorbability = 0.95
Tubing Grid 3/8" copper risers are brazed to 1" copper mainfolds for optimal flow distribution
Piping Connection Four 1" Type M copper tubes
Aluminum Foil Attached to the insulation, acts as a barrier against out-gasing
Solar Glass Glazing A single pane of 1/8” thick solar glass is patterned to reduce reflection and tempered to maximize strength and durability. *Iron oxide content: 0.03%
Back Plate Made of fiberglass for maximum benefit
Insulation 1-3/16” polyurethane foam cast under and around the side of the absorber plate, retains the heat of the water in the collector. DFC-free P.U. meets U.S. and European standards
Casing All aluminum extrusion casings create a sleek framewall. Unique extruded profile allows easy anchoring to the roof (shingle, tile, tar) or collector stands
Gaskets All-around EPDM gasket. Highly resistant to temperature differences and UV radiation. Absorbs the differential expansion of frame and glazing
