About this file
This is a specifications document and product information for solar water heating equipment related to a Sarasota County, Florida procurement for Fire Station 14 Solar Water Heater Replacement. The project involves replacement of a hurricane-damaged solar water heater collector system on the roof of Fire Station 14, located at 8821 South Tamiami Trail, Sarasota, Florida 34238. The specifications detail two primary components: the Alternate Energy Technologies AE-32 solar collector and American Water Heaters residential electric direct solar water heater storage tanks available in 65, 80, and 119-gallon capacities. The AE-32 collector measures 97.1875 inches in length by 47.1875 inches in width with a gross area of 31.85 square feet, operates at a maximum temperature of 350°F, and carries a 10-year warranty with a 30-year design life. The collector features a copper absorber plate, low-iron tempered glass glazing, and polyisocyanurate insulation. No specific response date, due date, site visit requirements, or bidder's meeting information is provided in these specifications.
The storage tank specifications include models SE62-65H-045S, SE62-80H-045S, and SE62-119R-045S, each equipped with a 4500-watt heating element and approved pressure and temperature relief valves. The tanks feature glasslined steel construction with 2-inch non-CFC foam insulation, aluminum anode rods with stainless steel cores, and carry a standard 6-year limited warranty on tank and parts with optional 10-year extension for residential applications. Both the collector and storage tank components are designed for direct open-loop solar water heating systems or closed-loop systems using external heat exchangers. The specifications indicate compliance with UL and CSA standards, California AB 1953, and Vermont Act 193 lead content limitations. No pricing information, set-aside details, incumbent contractor information, or funding sources are specified in this document. The equipment is eligible for a 30% federal tax credit when installed as part of a complete solar water heating system.

American direct solar water heaters are designed for installation as a part of a direct (open loop) solar water heating system or for use with external heat exchangers in closed loop systems. Available in 65, 80 and 119-gallon capacities these models provide storage for the hot water produced by the solar collectors and a supplementary electric heating element that maintains consistent water temperature during periods when solar energy is not available.
6-Year Limited Tank/6-Year Limited Parts Warranty*
Residential Electric Direct Solar Water Heaters
Multiple Connection Options for Installation Flexibility
• Side and top connections for open loop systems or closed loop systems using an external heat exchanger
Electrical
• 4500 watt heating element - long lasting low-watt density design spreads wattage over larger surface area to prolong element life and maximize efficiency
• Pre-wired for surface mount temperature sensor (sensor supplied separately)
Tank Construction
• Glasslined Steel Tank – glasslining protects against corrosion to maximize tank life
• 2-inch thick “Environmentally-Friendly” Non-CFC Foam insulation (R16 Value) reduces standby heat loss
