In August 2012, SunMaxx Solar, in conjunction with Simply Solar Systems LLC, completed a solar thermal installation at the Hometown Cafe in Hamlin, NY. The installation included five ThermoPower VHP-30 evacuated tube solar collectors, which were awning mounted, along with a 211 gallon solar storage tank.
This system provides approx. 75% of the businesses domestic hot water needs. The tank has an electric element and it’s tied into a 50 gallon electric hot water tank. Hometown Cafe took advantage of the $25,000 from the NYSERDA Solar Thermal Incentive Program.
