SunEarth Cascade 2 Hot Water Station – 80 & 120 Gallon
Residential Solar Water Heating • Gravity Drainback • Integrated Hot Water Station
The SunEarth Cascade 2 Hot Water Station is a factory- assembled solar thermal water-heating package designed for residential domestic hot water applications. Available in 80-gallon and 120-gallon storage configurations, the system combines solar storage, circulation, heat exchange, and control components into an integrated installation.
Cascade 2 uses a gravity drainback design for freeze protection. When solar circulation stops, properly sloped collector piping allows the heat transfer fluid to drain from the exposed collector circuit into a storage reservoir. This helps protect the system from freezing without relying solely on glycol.
The Cascade 2 system incorporates a brazed plate heat exchanger to transfer heat between the collector fluid and potable water circuits. This arrangement separates the solar collection circuit from the domestic water system.
The integrated hot water station is designed to simplify installation by reducing the number of individual field connections and bringing key mechanical and control components into a coordinated assembly. Proper installation, piping slope, circulation, and controller setup are essential to reliable operation.
SunEarth publishes ICC-SRCC OG-300 certifications for specified Cascade 2 solar water-heating system packages. Certification of the final installation depends on the exact collector, storage, and equipment combination.
