Solar Energy for Frederick County Detention Center
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]FREDERICK, MD: Solar Energy Services, Inc., (SES) a leading solar energy products and services provider, announced today that it will begin work this week on a large solar water heating system for the Frederick County Adult Detention Center in Frederick, Maryland. Com cada colecionador segurando 30 tubos, o sistema concluído gerará mais de 2.500 galões de água quente por dia para a instalação, usando um total de mais de 1.700 tubos solares. “A ocupação é constante e todas as necessidades de água quente para lavanderia, banho, cozimento e limpeza são substanciais. Além dos benefícios ambientais, esse sistema se pagará em um curto período de tempo.” Em 2011, o governador O'Malley assinou uma lei para incluir o aquecimento de água solar nas metas solares do estado, permitindo assim que os sistemas de aquecimento de água solar se beneficiem da venda de SRECs. A tecnologia (fotovoltaica) e, portanto, pode ser muito econômica, onde existe um requisito diário regular para a água quente. Residencial, multifamiliar, prisões, hotéis, dormitórios, quartéis militares, processamento industrial, clubes de saúde, lavagens de carros e restaurantes são todos bons candidatos a sistemas de aquecimento de água solar. Os sistemas solares são projetados para fornecer pré -aquecimento para toda a água quente doméstica, permitindo que a fonte de aquecimento tradicional forneça qualquer energia térmica suplementar, conforme necessário.
The renewable energy system, equivalent to approximately 130kW of power, will consist of 57 Apricus (AP-30C) evacuated tube solar thermal collectors, collecting thermal energy to deliver to the building’s water heating system. With each collector holding 30 tubes, the completed system will generate more than 2,500 gallons of hot water per day for the facility, using a total of more than 1,700 solar tubes.
SES Vice President and founder Roger Perry noted that prisons make excellent applications for solar water heating . “The occupancy is constant and all the hot water needs for laundry, bathing, cooking and cleaning are substantial. Aside from the environmental benefits, this system will pay for itself in a short period of time.”
The solar project is funded in part by ARRA funds, but also from the sale of Solar Renewable Energy Credits (SRECs). In 2011, Governor O’Malley signed a bill into law to include solar water heating in the state’s solar goals, thus allowing solar water heating systems to benefit from the sale of SRECs.
About Solar Water Heating
A very mature solar technology, solar water heating is 3 to 4 times as efficient as solar electric (photovoltaic) technology and therefore can be very cost effective where there is a regular, daily requirement for hot water. Residential, multifamily, prisons, hotels, dormitories, military barracks, industrial processing, health clubs, car washes and restaurants are all very good candidates for solar water heating systems. The solar systems are designed to provide preheating for all domestic hot water, allowing the traditional heating source to provide any supplemental thermal energy as required.
