Solar Thermal Solutions
  • Solargenix Energy LLC

Thermal Energy Demand
  • Solar energy can supply a significant portion of
    your companys energy demand. Potential thermal
    solutions include
  • Domestic hot water cooking, laundry, wash down,
    etc.
  • Process hot water boiler preheat, industrial
    water, dryers, etc.
  • Space heating forced air, floor heating, etc
  • Desiccant chilling
  • These loads often represent 30 or more of your
    companys energy needs
  • Solar thermal energy systems can displace 40 or
    more of your purchased energy used for thermal
    purposes

Solar Solutions
  • Solar thermal energy systems
  • Reduce annual expenditures on fossil fuel and/or
    electricity
  • Fix the energy price for a significant percentage
    of your load
  • The effective forward price is at or below the
    forward price of fossil fuels and especially
    electricity
  • With the price fixed, solar energy eliminates
    price risk and volatility for the energy provided
  • This serves as a long term hedge against rising
    prices for fossil fuels and electricity
  • Permanently reduce annual carbon emissions
  • Contribute to attaining LEED certifications
  • Demonstrate corporate stewardship
  • Increase the percentage or renewable inputs into
    your product or service

4
How Does Solar Thermal Work?
  • A solar thermal system uses solar energy to
    displace a portion of purchased energy
  • The system consists of
  • Collectors to efficiently capture the Suns
    energy
  • Circulating pumps to move the energy from the
    collectors
  • Tanks to store the energy, allowing round the
    clock usage and more purchased energy to be
    displaced
  • Controls to provide maximum heat collection
  • Heat exchangers to transfer the solar heat to
    the load

5
What Will It Take?
  • Capital investment
  • Costs of energy are upfront with little OM
  • Supports various financing structures
  • Federal ITCs, accelerated depreciation, state
    rebates or ITCs, and various grants that are
    available to assist with returns
  • Can meet acceptable targets for NPC, IRR, and
    effective annualized energy pricing
  • Solar expertise
  • Understand current thermal loads and uses
  • Choose the right technology for the application
  • Solar system sizing is important
  • Design of the thermal solution integration is
    critical to realize solar benefits
  • Integration
  • Engineering for lowest cost per solar BTU
  • Procurement of the right equipment
  • Installing the system correctly
  • Maintenance and performance monitoring

6
What are the Economic Drivers?
  • Insolation (geographical)
  • Location-specific solar availability (i.e.,
    shading)
  • Positioning of solar collectors
  • Footprint available for solar field
  • Type of collector/system and suitability to
    application
  • Thermal loads
  • Temperature
  • Profile - Daily/seasonal fluctuations, quantity
  • Purchased energy cost
  • Efficiency of existing system
  • Local installation costs
  • Federal, State, Local, Other incentives
  • Ownership structure/ability to utilize ITCs

7
