International Leader in Thermal Solar Solutions.
Solar thermal is the best investment of any of the renewable energy options when there is a need for hot water. It provides a safe, reliable and clean form of energy for a variety of hot water uses in diverse applications. Calpak solar collectors have been proudly producing solar hot water throughout the world for thousands of homes, buildings and companies for over 30 years.
The primary solar hot water use has been in residential domestic hot water use. Combination domestic hot water and space heating applications is a growing trend with commercial buildings leading the way. The production of solar hot water is also being used for solar air conditioning where absorption chillers are used. This is an extremely effective way of maximizing the utilization of a thermal solar system for use during hot or cold weather seasons.
Commercial buildings using large volumes of hot water on a daily basis throughout the year are especially suited for solar thermal installations. These include hotels, apartment buildings, hospitals, dormitories, health clubs, and commercial swimming pools.
Commercial establishments such as restaurants, laudromats and car washes are other examples of applications where solar thermal is providing long term energy savings.
Agricultural, dairy and other food processing plants are using solar thermal to supplement their daily hot water needs for washing, sanitizing, sterilizing and cooking. Dairy farms, wineries and breweries are classic examples.
Solar thermal collectors are also being used to preheat water for boilers in a number of industrial applications.
The ideal candidate for effective use of solar thermal energy supply is a factory that has daily process heating water requirements throughout the year and does not have sufficient waste heat from other processes to use.
