Hospitals use hot water all day. Here is how solar heating cuts the electricity or fuel bill.
Key takeaways
- Hot water from the sun
- Less electricity or fuel
- Backup for cloud
- Long-lived
01The problem
Wards, kitchens and laundries all need hot water, and heating it by electricity or fuel is a daily load on a hospital. Solar water heaters warm water from the sun and need little more than backup for cloudy days.
