What are the exterior SolarVenti panels made of?
The frame and the back plates are made of salt-resistant aluminum. This makes the SolarVenti easy to lift, move and install. Due to its construction, the solar air collector is immune to corrosion even in an aggressive environment. The glass plate is not glass but UV-resistant Lexan (plastic) which has insulating properties and does not splinter if the SolarVenti is dropped during transport for example. The Lexan plate is shockproof and will not even break if you kick a football at it. It is also very easy to replace. The Lexan helps to keep the total weight of the system down. It is much lighter than glass which, by the way, does not insulate very well either. All screws and rivets are made from stainless steel and salt-resistant aluminum.
