SunEarth Empire EP-32 Flat-Plate Solar Collector
Part Number: EP-32 | Nominal 4 × 8 ft
The SunEarth Empire EP-32 collects solar heat for residential and commercial water-heating systems. A copper absorber with moderately selective black paint transfers energy into copper fluid passages beneath low-iron tempered glass.
Its bronze-anodized aluminum casing and layered insulation support outdoor service while limiting heat loss. The EP-32 can be integrated into properly designed direct-circulation, glycol, or drainback systems, depending on the climate and application.
