Huron Campus Solar Hot Water System Installation In Endicott NY

Intelligent Green Solutions recently completed installation of a solar hot water system on the Huron Campus, the commercial building overseen and managed by Huron Real Estate Associates in Endicott, NY. The new solar hot water system features 10 TitanPower-ALH32HP flat plate solar collectors from SunMaxx Solar, as well mounting hardware, a solar storage tank, solar pump station and controllers – all from SunMaxx Solar as well.

SunMaxx & IGS Install Solar Hot Water System At Suds & Shine Car Wash Oneonta NY

SunMaxx Solar recently recently worked with partner company Intelligent Green Solutions (IGS) to provide the materials for the installation and commissioning of a new solar hot water system at the Suds & Shine Car Wash in Oneonta, NY. The solar hot water system will offset about 33% of the total hot water usage at the car wash. The system is built using 4 ThermoPower-VHP30 (30 tube) evacuated tube solar collectors. SunMaxx Solar provided the solar collectors and other solar system components (including the system controller and storage tank). IGS provided all of the engineering and installation services for the system. The system was completed in late March 2015 and is designed to provide more than 16,500 kwh of energy per year, which at the current NY state average electric price will save the car wash more than $2,400 the first year. Assuming a 3% annual increase in energy prices (below the average), the system will provide a cumulative energy savings of more than $46,000 over 15 years. The Suds & Shine solar hot water system is the first car wash solar hot water system for IGS, but several others are already lined up in the coming months based on the success of the Oneonta, NY system. A complete breakdown of the Suds & Shine solar hot water system can be found here: Full Reference Project.

Coopers Cave Ale Company Solar Hot Water System

For Coopers Cave Ale Co., hot water is doubly essential. The Glens Falls operation offers as many as a dozen beers and ales at a time, brews up to 20 in a year, and includes a restaurant that seats up to 120. Brewing requires 80,000 gallons of water annually at 150 degrees for cleaning boiling pots, fermenters, racking equipment and the bottling system. The restaurant consumes 200,000 gallons annually at the same temperature, in part because its dishwasher runs 11 hours a day. Ten solar collectors share space with the roof garden, feeding a 325-gallon holding tank downstairs. Inside the tank, a solar-heated mixture of water and glycol flows through the coils of a heat exchanger, continuously heating water in a separate coil. Water enters the building through two pipes under the sidewalk at 50 degrees year-round, and the solar hot water system preheats the water before it enters an electric water heater that slightly boosts the temperature for use.

Fort Bliss

In October 2012, Sunmaxx Solar installed a viable solar system for Fort Bliss, a United States Army post in the United States of New Mexico and Texas. The system utilizes three ThermoPower-VHP30 as well as a 211 gallon solar storage tank. Furthermore, this system is able to provide significant energy savings up to 80% in heating, chilling and geothermal applications to residential and commercial regions within Fort Bliss.
