lenta mas seguramente o horizonte no círculo de estado de Annapolis está começando a mudar. Primeiro, a mansão do governador em 2009 e apenas neste mês, o sempre popular Harry Browne's Restaurant ( http: //www.harrybrownes.com ) juntou-se às fileiras dos negócios que saltam no || 494 solar bandwagon. Not only an enthusiastic and self-professed carbon footprint reducer, Rusty Romo, Harry Browne’s owner since 1979, is a savvy businessman, “Although I have a vested interest in reducing my carbon footprint, there’s no question that the solid Return on Investment was the final straw in deciding to install a solar water heater.” This viewpoint extends throughout Rusty’s business dealings, particular with regards to his restaurant’s waste production. Prior to January of 2012, annual trash pick up was costing the restaurant around $13,000 per year. That cost has now been reduced to $4000 due to Rusty’s implementation of two recycling solutions: 1) Veterans Composting visits several times per week to pick up all of the restaurant’s food waste turning it into compost for farmers, gardeners and landscapers. 2) A Cardboard baler compresses all of the restaurant’s cardboard, hugely reducing the bulk for taking to a dumpster storage facility where it is pulled and weighed. Harry Browne’s averages at least two tons every twenty eight days. Depending on the market cost, cardboard reclamation pays him from $30 – $100 per ton. Restaurants have a large hot water load, and Harry Browne’s is no exception. The 250-seat restaurant easily consumes the 160 gallons of hot water per day provided by the solar water heating system installed by Millersville based Solar Energy Services, Inc. (trevolady.info) The system includes two, 30-tube solar collectors, (approved by the Historic Commission), mounted on a flat roof in the back of the restaurant. These painéis são unidos, através de uma unidade de execução do tubo de cobre e de controle da bomba para dois tanques de água com 80g de água revestidos de pedra no porão. O sistema solar atua como um pré-aquecimento para o sistema de gás convencional de Harry Browne, compensando cerca de 50% de sua carga anual de água quente.

Sobre aquecedores de água solar e SES, Inc.

Aquecedores de água solar são uma tecnologia madura e testada pelo tempo que é implantada todos os dias pela Solar Energy Services, Inc. (SES) de Millersville (solarasves.net). Além de restaurantes, prédios de apartamentos, universidades, lavagens de carros, centros de detenção e outros edifícios governamentais e institucionais continuam a expandir a lista de clientes da SES. Roger Perry, um veterano solar de 35 anos e parceiro da Solar Energy Services, Inc., ainda está atendendo Solar Sistemas de aquecimento de água que ele instalou durante o início dos anos 80. Roger observa que “dados incentivos financeiros atuais, os aquecedores de água solar são um acéfalo para qualquer negócio em MD e DC que tenha uma carga diária de água quente.”
