SunEarth SU Series Solar Thermal Storage Tanks — 80 & 119 Gallon
Universal Solar Thermal Storage • Direct or Indirect System Applications • Electric Backup
The SunEarth Preferred SU Series is designed for residential solar water heating applications requiring reliable hot water storage and flexible plumbing connections.
Available in nominal 80- and 120-gallon model classes, with manufacturer-published capacities of 80 and 119 gallons, these storage tanks are suited for direct (open-loop) solar systems or indirect systems incorporating an external heat exchanger.
Each SU Series tank features a fully glass-lined construction, magnesium anode protection, and 2-inch-thick R16 insulation to help protect the tank and reduce standby heat loss.
A 4,500-watt electric heating element provides supplemental hot water heating when solar energy is insufficient. Top and side plumbing connections offer flexibility for replacement projects and new installations.
SunEarth backs the SU Series with a 6-year limited tank and parts warranty, subject to the manufacturer's applicable warranty terms.
