Approvals and Certifications: UNIVERSAL® water heaters are approved by the Department of Consumer Affairs in Puerto Rico and certified for efficiency by the Solar Rating and Certification Corporation (SRCC) in Cocoa, Florida, USA (Document OG-100). Our high-efficiency solar water heaters are also ENERGY STAR certified. The UNIVERSAL solar heaters have been recognized for their water heating efficiency, even in low sunlight, by the SRCC (OG-300). Our solar water heater collectors are designed for optimal performance without black paint inside, ensuring they are 100%-free and certified by the Solar Rating Certification Corporation and EPA. We manufacture ULTRA UV-AS solar collectors featuring an exclusive BLUE FOREST interior, which utilizes electroplating process. This innovative design eliminates the use of black paint or lead, preventing peeling over time caused by heat and humidity—issues common in traditional collectors. Unlike conventional systems, which can become less efficient in cloudy or cooler mountain areas, our ENERGY STAR certified UNIVERSAL solar systems help reduce-term energy costs. The BLUE FOREST cover, exclusive to Universal Solar Products, Inc., enhances ultraviolet energy absorption even in low sunlight and a lifetime durability. Our collectors are protected by tempered glass that can withstand up to 300 pounds, acting like a magnifying glass to amplify UV rays and increase water temperature on cloudy days, ensuring you enjoy hot water 24/7 without relying heavily on electric backup systems, unlike traditional solar heaters using outdated 20th-century technology.
