s we all sit by, once again, and witness soaring energy prices, we must ask ourselves;


OLE PILGAARD PRESIDENT - HELIODYNE, INC.


When will the market understand that the era of a fossil fuel based economy is coming to an end, and do some- thing about it? Well, the answer is not that straight- forward.


Fossil fuel prices may be high, yet not high enough to overcome the cost of changing technology or consumer behavior. Energy costs in Europe are 3–4 times higher than those in the United States, and even they haven’t fully adopted solar. The solar thermal industry will have to accept that for years to come it will remain dependent on incentives to create a level playing field, and thus a market demand for solar hot water. Those companies that best understand how the market stimulus works will be the winners, at least in the short run.


In that context, our belief is that commercial solar hot water (SHW) is the most attractive market segment at the moment. Tax grants, high state rebates and attractive depreciation rules make projects cash-positive after only a few years for companies with high hot water consumption and tax liabilities. The commercial decision process is professional and objective, focusing on getting the best value for the money. Heliodyne’s experience and


continued efforts to improve our products and services in commercial SHW make us a leader in that segment.


Performance Anxiety?


It’s never a laughing matter when your products aren’t performing. That’s why were happy to announce the newly designed GOBI collector. It has one of the highest collector outputs on the market. With a profile height of less than three inches, one-inch headers and overall dimensions of 4'x10', the GOBI provides the best value among all the collectors available for commercial SHW applications today. By redesigning the frame and also incorporating state-of-the-art components, the GOBI has a reduced profile with even better performance. And with three sizes and two absorber surface types to choose from, there is a GOBI collector for every type of solar water heating application. It features:


• Thinnest profile – At just over 2.5", the GOBI has the slimmest profile in the United States. The redesigned frame offers you and the end-user a streamlined sleek look, compared to bulky, traditional flat plate collectors produced by most manufacturers.


• Industry top performer – New SRCC ratings certify that the GOBI now ranks among the best OG-100 certified collectors. The high energy output of the GOBI offers maximum performance from your SHW system.

ADVERTORIAL Solar Hot Water — A Huge Potential


• Easiest to install – Even though it’s been completely redesigned, the GOBI retains the unique Dyn-O-Seal (DOS) union interconnection method. DOS unions come factory assembled, and eliminate the time-consuming task of soldering collectors together in an array.


The HCOM


The pre-engineered and factory assembled HCOM commercial solar hot water station, with so many unique features, takes the specialized skill out of installing commercial SHW, and lowers the liability and cost of labor. And since it’s certified and listed to current plumbing and electrical standards, it makes inspections easier and much less unpredictable.


The preassembled nature of the HCOM lets us back it with a five-year limited warranty, alleviating any concerns for engineers and contractors.


With our in-house engineering, readily available sales tools and financing options, we believe Heliodyne is the best partner to help you penetrate one of the biggest untapped markets for SHW in the United States. Check us out at www.heliodyne.com and tap into the huge potential of solar hot water.
