Large Flat Plate Solar Collector System being Installed at Fort Hood Texas
SunMaxx Solar announced today the company will soon be starting a large solar thermal system installation in the United States at the Fort Hood military base in Texas. Located approximately 60 miles from the state capital of Austin, Fort Hood covers a total of 340-square miles and supports multiple units, a corps headquarters and a robust mobilization mission.
The installation is tentatively scheduled to be completed by early spring 2011, and will include six solar thermal hot water heating systems to meet the domestic hot water needs of six different buildings on the base.
The systems will incorporate a total of 198 SunMaxx TitanPower Plus-SU2 flat plate solar collectors, one of the highest rated flat plate solar collectors in the industry, and will provide 30-50 percent of the energy necessary to meet the domestic hot water load.
System efficiency is expected to be 60-80 percent, and will reduce carbon emissions by a significant amount annually.
The system will be installed by Intelligent Green Solutions (IGS), an authorized SunMaxx solar thermal installer located in Ithaca, New York. IGS is central New York’s premier solar thermal installer and energy efficiency consultant.
