Solar Water Heating Redefined It’s what we've all been waiting for. Sun Bandit® is the world’s first solar PV water heating system to be ICC-SRCC Certified, Energy Star Rated, Made in the USA, and UL Listed for the specific purpose in which it was designed. ICC-SRCC ICC-SRCC is a non-profit, independent third-party certification entity that is the only national certification program established solely for solar thermal products. It is also the only national certification organization whose programs are the direct result of the combined efforts of state organizations and an industry association involved in the administration of standards. Next Generation Energy partnered with ICC-SRCC to develop standards for the new category of Solar PV Water Heating which led to Sun Bandit® receiving the first certification for an OG-100 Solar PV Water Heating Collector and OG-300 certification as a Solar PV Water Heating System. www.solar-rating.org

How It Works Solar water heating has never been easier. Patented solar PV micro-grid technology captures the sun’s energy, converts it into electricity and stores the energy as FREE hot water for future use in the Sun Bandit® Water Heater.
☀
Operates As A Stand-Alone Or As A Pre-Heat System With no-net meter or utility connection needed for installation or operation, it produces hot water even during a power outage or in an off-grid location. 1. Solar PV Modules > Captures and converts sunlight into DC electricity. 2. Sun Bandit® AC Micro-inverters > Converts DC electricity to AC electricity. > No net-meter or utility connection needed. 3. Fused AC Disconnect > Turns off the Sun Bandit® circuit. 4. Sun Bandit® Monitor > Displays solar input when system is operating. 5. Sun Bandit® AC Micro Grid Thermostats > Adjusts the set point of the Micro Grid Elements. > Recommend setting VERY HOT (160 deg F). 6. Grid Tied Electric Element/Gas Control > Sets the minimum tank temperature. > Recommend setting as low as possible to maintain baseline water supply. 7. Mix Valve > Adjusts the temperature of water to fixtures. 8. Grid Disconnect > Turns off grid power to the water heater. 9. Sun Bandit® Water Heater > Stores solar energy as hot water.

25% More On-Site Energy Storage than a Battery Backup System! Battery backup systems have a finite amount of energy storage capacity. However, an 80 gallon Sun Bandit® water heater with water temperature at 160 deg F can deliver 100 gallons of hot water at 120 deg F to point of use — a 25% increase in energy storage!
