Expected completion date: 2023
Project overview
These rooftop solar collectors work by running water through large panels, that can capture heat generated by the sun as the water moves. This water is now considered preheated and decreases the amount of heat needed by boilers to bring the temperature of the water up.
Project features
- Using renewable energy resulting in GHG emissions reduction
- Decrease the reliance on natural gas for heating the Domestic Hot Water (DHW)
- Save energy costs
