Why
Phoenix Solar Commercial?
An integrated 96% gas fired water heater and solar heating appliance
Phoenix Solar integrates the superb features of the Phoenix 96%
modulating stainless steel water heater with solar thermal. This
merging of existing technologies not only provides superb performance
but excellent value by eliminating redundant components, making
installation easier and saving space.
A
Very Cost Effective Investment
The combination of 96% condensing technology and solar thermal provides
a better investment, particularly with the presence of tax credits
and rebates, than standard water heaters and boilers.
Quality
Phoenix Solar Commercial is a closed loop, positive freeze protection
system using quality components in service for decades.
Space Saving
The Phoenix Solar Commercial fits the same space as a conventional
water heater.
Tax Credits/ Rebates
The Phoenix Solar Commercial qualifies for an uncapped 30% Federal
Tax Credit, accelerated depreciation and, in PG&E territory,
very generous high efficiency rebates. Now is the time.

The
immersed combustion chamber of a Phoenix water heater has been raised
in the tank providing stratified, thermally isolated storage in the
bottom portion of the tank for independent production of solar heated
water. The solar pump is activated when sufficient solar energy is
available, charging the tank with solar heat. Solar heated hot water
reduces the firing of the modulating gas fired burner reducing hot
water and heating bills significantly.
