Commercial Solar Water Heating

Solar thermal heat is one of the most cost-effective solar options. It can be used for water heating, space heating or for process heat.

For most centralized water heating, pool heating or industrial water heating, solar thermal is an attractive energy investment with paybacks ranging from 3 to 5 years. Depending on your firm’s marginal tax rate, more than 70% of the system cost can be recovered through tax benefits in the first 5 years of the investment.

In addition to providing energy savings, solar water heating insulates your firm from future natural gas price volatility,  OR provides a hedge against future energy price increases.

Southern Energy Management can provide smaller commercial systems for clients with moderate hot water needs and can design/install large-scale solar thermal systems for high volume hot water needs. Our solar engineering team can work your  facilities manager or engineers to find the optimal solar thermal solution for your specific application.

Solar water heating is a proven technology for gymnasiums, dormitories, hotels, commercial laundries, car washes and industrial process heat or radiant heating systems. Solar water heating systems require almost no maintenance, so they are both easy to own and inexpensive to operate.
