Commercial Water Heating

Commercial enterprises that use lots of hot water every day can significantly improve their profit margins by utilizing solar heat.  Motels and institutions with large laundries usually have ample roof space for collector installation.  The normal daily laundry cycle complements the peak solar collection period.

The Energy Policy Act of 2005 created tax deduction allowances of $0.60/ sq ft for commercial buildings with solar HW systems and increased the business solar investment tax credit from 10% to 30%.

The world’s largest coin laundry in Chicago is completely solar supplied.  With our abundant sunshine we can do the same here in the South even more efficiently.

Multi-family residences and condominiums can use shared solar hot water systems.  Solar collector arrays on building rooftops can make hot water that is supplied to each unit’s hot water heater via distribution headers.  The reduction in electric usage for the building translates to less load on the grid ties and lower utility costs for occupants.  Hot water metering schemes can be used if individual unit billing is desired.  The explosion of condo building on the Gulf Coast provides a huge opportunity to mesh growth with energy responsibility.  Reduced Energy costs translate directly to increased rental profits.
