Cascade Sun Works has several pre-packaged systems available for immediate delivery and installation.  These systems all have one common thread - they are quality systems that meet Cascade Sun Works rigorous technical requirements.

These solar hot water systems are most commonly used to heat water for basic household needs such as laundry, bathing, dishwashing.  Commercial and larger systems directly suited to the needs are also available.

Cascade Sun Works can supply most of the systems offered in a Do-It-Yourself package.  To the home owner this make the system much more affordable.  For Contractors and Commercial Systems it means a better integration with the trades working on the project.
 

DayStar i80

The Daystor i80 Solar Appliance becomes the core of your buildings domestic hot water system furnishing hot water for domestic use or space heating.  The i80 uses an 80 gallon storage tank with an internal double wall heat exchanger and a single 4,500 watt (6,000 watt optional) electric hot water heating element for backup.

DayStar/Heliodyne HP16

Unquestioned as one of the leaders in the world on solar hot water systems, Cascade Sun Works is proud to offer the Heliodyne line of solar hot water equipment.  The Daystar/Heliodyne HP Solar Appliance becomes the core of your buildings domestic hot water system furnishing hot water for domestic use or space heating.  The HP16 uses an 80 or a 120 galloon storage tank with an external double wall heat exchanger and a single 4,500 watt (6,000 watt optional) electric hot water heating element for backup.

Viessmann Vitosol

Cascade Sun Works was appointed the first United States dealer for the Viessmann line of solar equipment.

Viessmann technology brings the expected level of quality and technology similar to what they have done for years with their boiler technology.  Viessmann offers both a flat plate collector system as well as an evacuated-tube collector system shown at left.
 

Solahart

Solahart Industries has been manufacturing solar hot water heaters since 1953.  Recently Rheem (hot water heaters) purchased Solahart to enhance their product line.

Solahart has several different configurations suitable for a wide range of applications.

These units are ideally suited for the Do-It-Yourself inclined.
 

DayStar Enhanced Circulation Systems

There are many decision options faced when selecting s solar hot water system.  One of the most common issues faces is the use of a whole house re-circulation system.  General plumbing practice is to install a return line from various remote points in the house to the hot water heater with the comment that it costs under ten dollars per month to run the pump.  Quite true but what about the heat to keep the water warm - We have measured several systems on moderately sized houses that require the equivalent of over a gallon of propane to operate per day!

Second tank re-circulation is an option to enhance storage capacity allowing more collection or greater stored energy from an existing system.  In general, this will keep the domestic hot water elements or gas shut off for the majority of the time.

Combining these systems can be challenging and is generally misunderstood or downplayed.  Do not underestimate a poor circulation system as it can wipe out all of the gains that the solar system is furnishing.
 

DayStar Custom Systems

There are times when our standard systems do not meet the demands of the building.  For these systems Cascade Sun Works will analyze the requirements, design and supply a custom built system using quality components.

The engineering and documentation package that we supply for these packages remains unequalled in our area.  On many systems we dedicate a password protected web site for distribution of information on a 24/7 basis for the duration of the project.  Data acquisition and remote monitoring are all conducted on a regular basis.

Quality equipment is key to go along with our engineering to insure that the product is reliable and durable.
