What About Solar Water Heating?

Answer»

Solar water heating is 6.5 times more efficient than solar PV panels. It HEATS water on the roof and with www.wind-inc.us systems can heat the water from 130 degrees on a cloudy day to 600 degrees on a full sun day. This preheats the cold water that GOES into the water tank, and is constantly circulated. It is said that 17% to 30% of a commercial building power NEEDS are for heating water, the higher range for hotels, food PREPARATION, condos, apartments, prisons, universities, any place where showers, food, laundry are used.

If an average PRISON, has 20% of it's utility bill for making hot water, and our solar water heating system is installed, then we add a wind turbine to produce, say 70% of the balance of electrical needs, it is possible that 90% of a building's utility bill will be covered. With our internal 14 point energy conservation step audit, it is possible to get some buildings to a net "0" utility bill. We think more and more buildings will achieve this in the next few years. We are encouraging it. Not with just one answer such as wind, but with wind, solar water heating, solar PV panels and internal conservation methods.
