We also like the SunEarth panels. Please make sure you put the Rheem tanks under an 80psi pressure test for 3 days and that it holds like a ROCK. We prefer these tanks but have also found their heat exchangers to leak from time to time.

They make top-notch harp-style collectors in So Cal, and they private label a host of other Solar Thermal components, including Steca controllers. The folks I have talked to from their sales team are friendly and helpful and I'm sure they can tell you who in your area distributes their stuff. They might even sell to you directly. I prefer Resol controllers for our thermal projects and have found that Alpha Thermal Systems in Massachusetts is the place to get those controls. They also distribute PAW pumpstations and will ship for a reasonable price. Best, -Luke > > Wrenches, > > Occasionally I get wrangled into doing hot water.
