How it Works
Draws energy from the sun
During peak daylight hours, the SunSource Comfort System gets help from a solar panel to heat and cool your home. It uses renewable solar energy to power the outdoor fan motor, reducing the utility-provided electricity needed for operation. The solar-assist increases the system efficiency, reducing the power consumed by as much as 8%.
*Based on improved temperature control offered by two-stage compressor operation.

Solar by day. Electric by night. Savings all year.
Taking a step to conserve energy with a SunSource Comfort System can save you hundreds of dollars on your utility bills every year.
A SunSource Comfort System makes use of all available solar energy to reduce electric consumption—full sun is not a requirement. On days with limited sun exposure, the SunSource Comfort System continues to operate efficiently using metered electricity provided by your power company.
Heating and
Air Conditioning
That means no matter where you live, the SunSource Comfort System is a viable renewable energy solution that can make a positive change in your home environment…and global environment.

THIS MODEL
Higher efficiency plus superior comfort with less noise.
Now it’s possible for you to reduce the environmental impact of your home’s heating and cooling system without sacrificing your comfort. With efficiency ratings of up to 18.20 SEER and 9.70 HSPF***, Lennox’ SunSource
heat pump takes heating
and cooling technology to new heights with help from renewable solar power.
Optimized for use with the Humiditrol® whole-home dehumidification system
As part of a complete comfort package, the Humiditrol system delivers a level of humidity control never before available. Less moisture in the air not only feels better, it
Conserves energy while preserving the environment
The SunSource heat pump is designed with a two-stage scroll compressor that uses R410A refrigerant, which meets the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s standards for ozone and environmental safety.
improves overall indoor air quality, too.
What a difference quiet makes
The SunSource heat pump is engineered with Lennox’ exclusive SilentComfort™ technology for quiet performance day in and day out. A patent-pending fan design, two-stage operation and an insulated compressor compartment also help keep sound at a minimum.
Choosing an ENERGY STAR® product like the XPG20 SunSource
Comfort System can help you improve comfort and save energy costs. You may also be able to qualify for utility rebates and
tax credits. By creating a more efficient home environment,
Reducing your carbon footprint—one step at a time
Every SunSource heat pump will offset 376 pounds of CO2 per year. That’s the equivalent of planting seven mature trees, or carpooling to work one day each week. If thousands of people joined in, the change would substantially reduce environmental emissions.

Dave Lennox Signature® Collection XPG20 Specifications
The SunSource™ solar-assisted heat pump, tested according to the Department of Energy central heat pump test procedure, and with zero solar power input, yields these performance metrics:
With No Solar-Assist Outdoor unit
model XPG20-036 CBX32MV-048
When this same equipment is tested by the same procedure, but with 170 watts of DC power (simulating power input from a nominal 205 watt solar module) the standard test procedure yields these performance metrics:
With 170 Watt DC Solar-Assist XPG20-036 CBX32MV-048
In actual applications, the availability and intensity of solar energy varies from locale to locale. The above metrics suggest lower and upper bounds for estimating performance.
Note: Due to Lennox’ ongoing commitment to quality, all specifications, ratings and dimensions are subject to change without notice.
