Solar Gain – Tilt Angular vs. Flat Plate for a Solar Air Heater
Our Solar Air Heater “Step-wise Heating™” technology by design is angled.
The Patented Technology includes a built in angle over 22 degrees when mounted to the side of a dwelling. The advantage of this built in angle over all other solar air heaters will be obvious when using the NREL Solar calculator. Users can select a location and choose to use default values or their own system parameters for size, electric cost, array type, tilt angle, and azimuth angle. In addition, the PVWatts calculator can provide hourly performance data for the selected location.
You can see for yourself, the efficency of our advanced “Step-wise Heating™” technology when determining solar gain. After your report is generated, simply change the array angle to 22.5 degrees and click on calculate.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) for renewable energy and energy efficiency research, development and deployment has a wonderful new research tool. This research tool enables consumers to view energy savings and efficiency by geographical location including angle array.
