The SunMaxx-M2 Flat Plate Collector is perfect for integration with your existing gas, propane or electric hot water system, allowing a small SunMaxx Flat Plate Collector system to eliminate up to 80% of your hot water heating costs - in other words, a SunMaxx Flat Plate Collector will save you hundreds of dollars a year in energy costs.

The SunMaxx-M2 Flat Plate Collector is typically recommend for use in warmer climates simply because they are designed with larger absorber areas that are not insulated from the colder weather. The SunMaxx evacuated tubes prove to be more efficient in colder climates and are recommended for use is these areas. However, because of the incredible advances in efficiency and durability made to the SunMaxx-M2 Flat Plate Collector, this flat plate collector can also be used successfully in non-extreme mid and northern locations and climates.

The SunMaxx-M2 Flat Plate Collector is designed for maximum efficiency and heat retention, leading to a better overall solar hot water system performance, additional savings and a higher overall return on your investment. Because of the lower price of aluminum vs copper, the SunMaxx-M2 Flat Plate Collector is able utilize a thicker aluminum absorber plate, which increases the efficiency of the SunMaxx Flat Plate Collector by up to 2%, without increasing the end-user cost.

As the absorber plate heats up it begins to radiate energy as infrared (IR) or heat radiation. Glass is essentially opaque to IR wavelengths so the heat is trapped increasing the temperature within the flat plate collector.  Therefore, the SunMaxx-M2 Flat Plate Collector can create a greenhouse effect inside, which maximizes the amount of solar radiation entering the collector, and minimizes the amount of solar radiation that is able to exit.

Whether you are looking into a small, 1 or 2 flat plate collector system or a larger, multiple flat plate collector system, the new SunMaxx-M2 Flat Plate Collector is the perfect combination of industry-leading performance and affordable pricing for nearly every solar hot water application and every budget.

Additional Flat Plate Collector Information

For a large household, a solar water heating system may not be too much

more expensive than a normal electric or gas system.  These collectors are also easily integrated into existing water heating systems.  Leaving your old water heater as a backup ensures all of your hot water needs will be satisfied throughout the year.  Depending on your location and water usage, the electricity or gas savings will differ, but you can generally expect a payback period in the range of 3-7 years.  The SunMaxx Flat Plate Collector is extremely durable, requires little, or no, maintenance, and often lasts 25 years or more, saving you thousands of dollars in hot water heating costs over its lifetime.
