Press Release Summary = Solar Flat Plate collectors are typically recommend for use
in warmer climates simply because they are designed with larger absorber areas that
are not insulated from the colder weather.

Press Release Body = SunMaxx Flat Plate collectors are specially designed to
maximize the absorption and retention of solar radiation. As Light passes through
the low-iron glass covering and strikes the black chrome selective coating, the
light is absorbed as heat. The special black chrome selective coating allows the
collector to absorb a wider range of wavelengths, and the low-iron glass covering is
allows the maximum amount of light to enter the collector because it has the highest
transmission and therefore lowest reflection properties for glass.
As the absorber plate heats up it begins to radiate energy as infrared (IR) or heat
radiation. Glass is essentially opaque to IR wavelengths so the heat is trapped
increasing the temperature within the collector. Therefore, these collectors create
a greenhouse effect which maximizes the amount of solar radiation entering the
collector, and minimizes the amount of solar radiation that is able to exit.
So if you want to try something that will work why not try the Flat Plate Collectors
that Silicon Solar has to offer you won't be disappointed...
As a customer in Hawaii is quoted on saying" Its one of the best investments I could
have made. And If I had to do it again I would go back to Silicon Solar again.
