SunMaxx Solar Collectors Installed at First Solar Powered Brewery in New Hampshire
avwFm87mDz2012-12-20T13:39:59+00:00SunMaxx Solar is proud to announce the successful installation of twenty-five SunMaxx TitanPower Plus-SU2 solar flat plate collectors at the Flying Goose Brew and Pub as it becomes the first solar powered brewery in New Hampshire. In an ongoing effort to become a more energy efficient business, Flying Goose recently upgraded to a solar thermal system which uses a non-pressurized 806 gallon tank to preheat water for the restaurant and brew cycles. Installed by the SunMaxx authorized installer Clean Resolutions, the system consists of 500 square feet of SunMaxx TitanPower Plus-SU2 flat plates, which reside on the brewery’s dining room roof. Currently, they're offsetting about half of the fuel used to heat their hot water --- thanks to the new SunMaxx solar hot water collectors mounted on the roof over the dining room. They will contribute about 100 million BTUs of heat annually! SunMaxx Solar congratulates Flying Goose Brew and Pub on being a forerunner in creating a more energy efficient business in New Hampshire by their use of solar powered systems.
