There are unlimited
applications for Solar Heated Water in Industrial, Agricultural, Farm and other
Businesses.
With the large volume
of water required for showers, dishes, laundry, cleaning and sanitation,
solar water heating systems pay for themself in a very
short period of time. There is virtually NO maintenance for these installations.
Below are several applications that have implemented Solar Hot Water
Heating.

for assistance with sizing the systems for these or other
applications.
Recreation facilities. This
two flat-plate collector system was installed on a city recreation
center in North Florida. It includes tennis courts, exercise rooms,
and a kitchen facility. The system produces hot water for the shower
and kitchen.
Agricultural and husbandry. Although pigs love their mud, hot water is
required for the cleaning of the indoor stalls at this hog farm.
This cost-effective system provides sufficient hot water year round.
Along with hot water, the pigs are provided with piped-in classical
music.
Agricultural and husbandry. The solar water heating system at this farm in
the Netherlands provides hot water that is used for various
husbandry applications. These include cleaning of the stalls and hot
water used in animal slaughter and processing.
Hospitals and medical clinics. Another type of facility in which a large
amount of hot water is used is a hospital or medical clinic. The
solar collectors mounted on the roof of this hospital provide a
large percentage of the hot water required. The rest is provided by
back-up sources such as electricity or gas.
Correction Facilities.
Prisons require a large amount of hot water for
food processing, cleaning, sanitation, and shower facilities. The
solar collectors used on this facility are concentrating parabolic
type collectors. They produce very hot water.

example of a correction facility solar system.
Office
buildings. A solar
water heating system using conventional flat-plate solar collectors
was installed on this office building in Washington, D.C. The system
provides hot water for lavatories, lunchrooms, and ancillary
hot-water-demand devices. The collectors are securely installed on a
rack mount system.
Laundries and dry cleaners. Commercial laundries, ranging from small
coin-operated to large applications, require tremendous amounts of
hot water. The more hot water a system has to produce, the more
cost-effective it becomes. Large systems must be properly designed
and installed.
Hotels and
motels. These
facilities require year-round availability of hot water for guest
rooms, housekeeping, laundry facilities, and adjoining restaurants.
Solar water heating systems are ideal appliances for hotels and
motels as the load demand usually complements the peak operation of
the solar system.
Apartments and
condominiums. Solar water heating systems such as these
integral collector storage systems can be quite cost-effective on
apartment and other rental units. Systems can be plumbed to
individual units or into a central system that supplies hot water
for the whole complex
