Product catalog summary
Introduction
The SolarWall® 2-Stage is an advanced solar air heating system designed to improve upon the original SolarWall® technology. It is engineered to deliver higher temperature rises, making it suitable for space heating applications, particularly in roof-mount projects and windy locations.

Specifications
The system can increase air temperature by 36-85°F (20-47°C) above ambient conditions. It operates by heating outside air through micro-perforations in the SolarWall collector, then further heating it in a second stage. This results in a significant increase in thermal energy output, up to 54% more than conventional systems.

Features & Advantages
  • Higher energy output reduces heating costs significantly.
  • Delivers up to 50% more thermal energy than low-flow systems.
  • Regularly achieves temperature rises over 100°F (55°C).
  • Maintenance-free and can contribute up to 10+ LEED® Points.
  • Improves indoor air quality by heating fresh air.
  • Offers substantial life-cycle cost savings and CO2 emission reductions.
  • Available in various colors for building integration.

Applications
The SolarWall® 2-Stage is ideal for commercial and industrial buildings, providing both space heating and ventilation air heating. It is particularly beneficial in environments where rapid heating is required, as demonstrated by its use at Plattsburgh International Airport.

SolarWall 2-stage High Performance Solar Air Heating-1

High Performance Solar Air Heating “It used to take over 3 hours to reheat the hangar when they opened the doors to get an aircraft out. Now its only taking 45 minutes, so they don’t have to use all that natural gas from the conventional heating system.” -Tom Long, Airport Manager at Plattsburgh International Airport The SolarWall® air heating technology has always generated an impressive economic return for commercial & industrial buildings due to its high efficiency & low capital costs. It has been primarily used for ventilation heating or process applications, with a consistent track-record of delivering high energy performance in all projects around the world. Up to 54% More Thermal Energy Independent testing & field applications have shown that SolarWall 2-Stage will deliver up to 50%+ more energy than a conventional SolarWall system, with temperature rises over 100°F (55°C) frequently achieved. * Test Conditions; 1 CFM/ft2 and 900 watts of solar radiation Introducing SolarWall® 2-Stage SolarWall® 2-Stage is the latest version of the SolarWall® technology and it builds on the technological success of the original solar air heating system. SolarWall® 2-Stage has been configured to deliver a higher temperature rise - up to 36-85°F (20-47°C) above ambient temperature - which makes it more applicable for space heating applications. It is also ideally suited for roof-mount projects and windy locations. [And as the wind speed increases, the energy output of the 2-stage system will continue to increase relative to the conventional SolarWall system.] It operates on the same premise as the original SolarWall® technology in that outside air is heated and drawn into an air cavity via tiny mirco-perforations in the SolarWall collector. With the 2-Stage system, the air is then heated a second time (which boosts the temperature rise) as it passes though a second stage of the system. The solar heated air is then directed into the building’s ventilation system - or through a dedicated SolarWall fan & ducting system - where it is distributed throughout the building.
