Project Highlights:

• Hospitality

• Delivered in 2021

• This is energy-as-a-service solution meaning client pays from the savings he achieves in his energy costs after implementing Solarus solution

• System is equipped with remote monitoring and control

• 26.656 kWh solar heat per year

• 11.222 kWh solar electricity per year

• This is a 100% renewable solution where more than 40% of the hot water demand is met directly by Solar heat while the remaining is covered by heat pumps. Electricity produced by PVTs covers the electricity needs of the heat pump on an annual basis

• Three-fourth of the hot water demand is directly covered by the solar heat

• Electricity produced compensates for the energy required by the electric boilers to meet the remaining one-fourth of hot water demand on an annual basis
