DC Condos Use Solar Energy to Pre-Heat Hot Water
WASHINGTON, DC: Solar Energy Services, Inc., in partnership with third party solar developer Skyline Innovations, recently finished the installation of a solar water heating system for Shoreham North, a condominium building in downtown Washington, DC.
The solar thermal system includes 26 collectors southerly mounted on the roof, closed-loop plumbed to a 1,500 gallon solar storage tank inside the building. The system is expected to reduce the building’s water heating utility bill by about 30%.
