New SHC Mini-Tank Water Heater

SHC 4 Mini tankAvailable Now

Our new Stiebel Eltron SHC 4 point-of-use tank type water heater will be ready to ship from our warehouse on April 05. This unit has a small storage tank with 4 GAL (15L) capacity. The SHC 4 has a welded steel tank with glass lining and a sacrificial anode rod. The housing is very attractively designed white plastic that will not rust.

The unit has a 110-120V 1200W heating element and a cord that can be plugged into any regular AC outlet. No 208/240V or hardwiring is necessary.

The SHC 4 will be shipped with a P&T valve. The pricing and warranty will be competitive with other units on the market. This is a high quality product with a very good life expectancy.

We are also working on a 2.5 GAL unit of a very similar design which will follow later.


August, 2004

Stiebel Eltron's North American headquarters is now solar powered !

5.4 kW photovoltaic array

Since August of 2004, a 5.4 kW photovoltaic solar system has been supplying about 40% of the electricity used in our offices and warehouse. A photovoltaic (PV) system converts sunlight directly into electricity without any pollution or noise.

The supply of electricity from a PV system substitutes the electricity obtained from conventional sources such as oil, coal, gas, nuclear etc.

Solar arrary detail

The system at the Stiebel Eltron facility is grid connected. It is able to supply electricity to the electrical grid when consumption is low in the building on weekends and holidays.

Stiebel Eltron manufactures thermal solar systems that can be used to provide water heating and space heating for homes and businesses.

The following links are available for more information on the Stiebel Eltron SOL 25 Plus flat plate solar collector and the SBB storage tanks for solar applications.
