SunMaxx Solar Thermal System Installed at Vanillen Dairy in Ovid, NY

During February of 2012, a commercial solar thermal system was installed for the Vanillen Dairy in Ovid, New York.   The system uses five ThermoPower VHP-30 solar collectors, roof mounted, along with a 211 gallon solar storage tank.  The system was installed to provide both domestic hot water and heating and is tied into their existing propane hot water tank and boiler.   The system provides 100% of the domestic hot water needs from late Spring through early Autumn and 75%  of the domestic hot water and radiant floor heating from late Autumn through early Spring.
