SunEarth THERMORAY Black TR-20

Regular price $1,759.20
Shipping calculated at checkout.

The SunEarth ThermoRay Black TR-20 is a glazed liquid flat-plate solar thermal collector designed for residential and commercial solar water-heating applications. Engineered pool-heating systems require appropriate heat-exchanger separation.

It features a selective MiroSol® TS absorber coating, low-iron tempered glass, copper manifolds and risers, and a bronze-anodized aluminum frame.

Key Features

  • Selective MiroSol® TS Coating: Black selective absorber coating; the master specification sheet’s materials table lists 95% absorptivity and 20% emissivity.
  • Low-Iron Tempered Glass: Glazing protects the absorber while admitting solar energy.
  • Copper Manifolds & Risers: 1" nominal copper headers and ⅜" nominal copper risers.
  • R-12 Minimum Insulation: Polyisocyanurate and fiberglass insulation helps reduce heat loss.
  • Bronze-Anodized Aluminum Frame: AA 6063-T6 aluminum construction with an integral mounting channel.
  • Solar Thermal Applications: Designed for solar water heating and engineered pool-heating systems using appropriate heat-exchanger separation.

Product Highlights

  • Solar Water Heating: Glazed flat-plate collector for residential and commercial solar thermal systems.
  • Selective Absorber: MiroSol® TS coating on an aluminum absorber plate.
  • Durable Construction: Bronze-anodized aluminum frame, copper fluid passages, and tempered glass.
  • Insulated Design: R-12 minimum insulation reduces heat loss.
  • Integral Mounting Channel: Supports mounting without penetrating the extruded casing.
  • Manufacturer Documentation: Combined installation, operation, and maintenance manual and collector warranty are linked below.

Technical Documents

Installation Information: Proper solar system sizing, piping, circulation, freeze protection, and mounting must follow manufacturer instructions and applicable local codes. For pool or spa heating, the collector warranty requires the pool or spa water to be isolated from the collector through a heat exchanger. Consult SunEarth to resolve document differences before final system design.
