Projects by Swiss Solar Tech: Singer Specialized Ltd. Trucking, Calgary  Solar Systems Info: Solar System: 24 Solar Collectors Type Thermo Dynamics G32 (64.8 sq. ft.) System costs: $62,000 24 solar collector system was added to an existing ground source heat pump system used for space heating and domestic hot water heating for a truck wash. How this solar/geothermal hybrid systems operates: Our hybrid systems are using every bit of solar energy we can collect and elevating it with the heat pump. Our absorption is better and with less line losses because the glycol in the panels is colder. If there isn't a simultaneous demand for the solar heat energy, then it is stored in the ground loop for later use that evening. It is also stored in the rock over the summer when we will collect more than is required. In short, we are getting a lot more energy and value out of the solar panels than if they were just high grade heating domestic hot water. The ground loop assists, but would not carry the load without the solar panels and would freeze up. The ground loop is acting more as a battery for the free heat collection than as a heat source. Neither would continue to function without the solar panels.  Benefits of system installed: Pay back time: approximately 8 years Copyright © 2005 Swiss Solar Tech Ltd. All rights reserved. |
