SunEarth SU80HE-1 & SU120HE-1 Double-Wall Solar Heat Exchange Tanks

80/120 Gallon Model Classes • Double-Wall Heat Exchanger • Residential Indirect Solar Thermal Storage

The SunEarth HE Series solar storage tanks are designed for indirect solar water-heating systems where heat must be transferred from a solar collector circuit into stored domestic hot water.

Unlike conventional tanks that rely on an immersed internal coil, the SunEarth HE design incorporates copper heat exchange tubing wrapped around and secured to the storage tank. This arrangement transfers thermal energy through the tank wall without mixing solar heat-transfer fluid with stored potable water.

The heat exchanger incorporates a vented double-wall configuration that provides an additional protective barrier between the solar collector fluid and domestic hot water.

Designed for residential indirect solar thermal applications, the tanks include supplemental electric water heating, corrosion-resistant tank lining, anode protection, and accessible plumbing connections.

SunEarth identifies a 6-year limited warranty for the SU HE tank family, subject to the applicable manufacturer warranty statement.
