TrendSetter Solar Products Increases Importation Of Its Evacuated Tube Solar Hot Water Collectors In 2008
Publisher : Solar News
TrendSetter Solar Products announced it is stepping up importation of its new Evacuated Tube Solar Hot Water Collectors into the United States. The Company received the first full twenty-foot container of its new collector in the U.S. last week. The new evacuated tube collector has begun to ship to projects primarily based on the West Coast.
The Company has placed orders for one container a month over the next quarter in order to meet expected sales demand. Each container will contain approximately 45 complete TrendSetter Evacuated Tube collectors. As the demand for new collectors is expected to increase, TrendSetter will be able to double the number of monthly containers to approximately 80 collectors per month. Collector sales at the current rate are expected to contribute $1 to $2 million to the Company's sales volume in 2008.
TrendSetter is also anticipating the Solar Rating Certification Corporation (SRCC) certification for the new collector to be issued by April of 2008. The application for SRCC certification was initiated in July of 2007. SRCC Certification is required for the Federal Tax Credits and State Rebates.
TrendSetter CEO, Dirk Atkinson, stated, 'The new collector is superior in quality to similar collectors currently on the market. TrendSetter has completed transitioning from selling other brands of evacuated tube collectors to the new TrendSetter Brand Collector in December 2007. From now as we are selling Evacuated Tube Collectors they will be TrendSetter's. This commitment to standing monthly orders is important, because the product availability will build customer confidence in the TrendSetter brand.'
