Thompson Correctional Facility Sixteen AET 4'x 10' solar thermal collectors deliver hot water to the entire facility. The solar thermal energy is stored in three Rheem/RUUD tanks. An external heat exchanger transfers heat from the collectors to facilities' potable water. An IMC Eagle II controller maintains system tempurature set points.

Sorenson Residence Lee Sorenson purchased a two panel solar hot water system from H&H in 2008. Two 4' x 8' flat plate solar collectors collect heat. An 80 gallon solar storage tank with an integrated heat exchanger transfers heat energy to the domestic hot water supply. When the gas water heater and the solar storage tank have reached their desired set points, system pumps shut off and fluid drains out of collectors into a "drain back" reservoir. The system is regulated by an IMC Eagle II solar controller.
Mr. Sorenson also purchased a 27 panel, 5.535 kW solar electric system. This system is enrolled in Madison Gas and Electric's Clean Power Partner Program. |

Renewable energy systems are less costly to install and perform more efficiently when they are incoprorated into new construction. Piping can be done easily during the rough framing stage. This system features a "heat assist" option. When the regular water heater and solar storage tank have...read more.
