Altamonte Springs, FL — UMA Solar is proud to announce their first solar flat plate collector for solar water heating made in the USA – the Aurora Solar Collector by Solene. The collector will be on display at the annual Solar Power International 2009 in Anaheim, CA on October 27 – 29.
"We asked our dealers, if you could have the perfect solar collector, what you would like to see," says Robert Zrallack, Vice President of Sales at UMA Solar. "They gave us a laundry list of items they deemed important. We listened and the Aurora collector was born. They wanted high efficiency and a high BTU output to satisfy performance based incentives."
Aurora Solar Collectors are the most technologically advanced collectors on the market, with the industry’s best warranty. In the end, Aurora offers the highest quality materials & state-of-the-art engineering to provide maximum efficiency & durability homeowners can depend on for years to come. Like many UMA Solar products, Aurora by Solene uses state of the art mounting hardware that surpasses the quality and durability of its competitors.
"We gave them the highest BTU rating available today," says Zrallack. "They wanted a collector that could withstand high velocity winds or a couple feet of snow sitting on top of it. We built a battleship. Extruded aluminum box, reinforced corners, sidewalls braced together to eliminate bowing, easy removal of glass or absorber for servicing if needed, OG100 approval and private labeling for quantity buyers."
Doug Hagg, Regional Sales Manager agrees. "With top shelf BTU ratings and quality construction, the Aurora collector is sure to become a big player in the solar thermal industry," says Hagg.
With the Aurora collector in such high demand, UMA Solar is in the planning stages of building a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility to begin in late 2010. They anticipate creating 50 to 70 new jobs in the Central Florida area. Victor Eyal, CEO of UMA Solar says, "Building the absolute best solar collector on the market, while having such a positive impact on the environment, economy, and job growth, is an incredible win-win situation for everyone involved."
