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.
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. Commercial establishments such as restaurants, laudromats and car washes are other examples of applications where solar thermal is providing long term energy savings.
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.
These are just a couple of examples of Calpak collector agricultural and process heating installations.
