Solar Heating Projects

Description:
This project integrates with domestic hot water providing the customer nearly 100% of their hot water needs. In the winter time the excess heat is dumped into a heat exchanger that runs with his in floor heating system. The heat from the solar water heater is then transferred into the in floor heating loop helping him heat this large residence. In the summer any excess heat not used for domestic water is dissipated through a large air handler. The customer has full access to his system via the Vbus.net which he can see from his smart phone. The estimated energy production is 16-18 MW annually. The array is set up in 2 parallel banks of 4 collectors in series. By doing so the operating temperature of the collectors is reduced increasing the systems performance.

Most people don’t think a pool in Mexico needs heating but in the Baja Peninsula of Mexico, the winter temperatures can drop down into the low teens at night, and the winds can strip away the heat quickly. Most unheated pool in Mexico are not used in the winter. Even in the land of sun pools need to be heated. This off-grid project located in the East Cape in Baja, Mexico uses solar flat plates to provide year round use. The large pool has 20 flat plate solar pool heaters to keep the pool swimmable year-round. Flat plate collectors are idea for swimming pools. The closed loop design means the pool chlorine never touches the solar loop giving a life expectancy 3-4 times longer than traditional solar pool heaters. The collectors are not effected by wind and work in cloudy days.

As we discussed earlier, I had talked to several other suppliers of solar pool heating panels. I wasn't getting the support or the information I thought I should be getting.

I found your company on the internet, Northern Lights Energy Group, and starting talking with Cody Jung. He was very informative and answered all my questions in a timely and professional manner. He requested information on our pool and where we were located. Several phone calls and emails later I was very sure your company could help us.

Description:
Largest Solar Space Heating project in Western Canada! 18 x TZ58 1800 30R collectors for heating 16,000 square foot shop with hydronic radiant floor heat in concrete. Large Air Handler is used to cool system in Summer. 80 degree angle for mount also reduces summer heating and maximizes winter heating. PAW commercial pump station with two RESol BS/plus controllers. Controllers control solar heating loop as well as over heat dissipation. 2nd controller controls integrated floor heating loop with large heat exchanger used to transfer energy to existing dual electric boilers. Estimates capacity 30 MW/year 103,000,000 BTU.

Description:
This solar water heating project uses 4 x TZ58 1800 30R used to heat 1600 square foot concrete slab single story home with Electric Hydronic boiler, incorporates 80 gallon domestic hot water tank, and external dissipator for Summer use. Natural trees provide ideal shade for summer and allow full sun in Winter.

Description:
Northern Lights Solar Solutions supplies the City of Calgary with 16 SunRain Solar vacuum tube collectors for the Calgary Zoo to supply heating to the ENMAX conservatory. This conservatory house a tropical eco system as well as a butterfly garden. Complete with banana and pineapple trees, the ecosystem mimics a tropical jungle. The solar vacuum tube are used to provide space heating and maintain the required water temperatures for the ecosystem year round.

Description:
This solar heating project uses 17 x TZ58 1800 30R used to heat 2400square foot concrete slab work shop with Modine Over Head Water Heater. Incorporates 1 x 500 gallon storage tanks, and external dissipator. Vertical mount for optimizing heat in Winter and dissipating heat in Summer.

Description:
This solar heating project is the largest Resort Solar Installation in Canada! 19 x TZ58 1800 30R collectors provide domestic hot water for showers, laundry facilities, and kitchen for entire resort. Located at the 50 parallel in North West Territories just 2 hours below the tree line. This complete solar heating project is the largest of its kind in North America and is an testament to solar heating in Northern Climates. With the long summer sunlight makes solar an ideal resource for season heating. In the winter months the collectors are covered with custom covers. PV panels and solar DC-5 pumps provide the electricity for this truly off grid installation.

Description:
6 x TZ58 1800 25R collectors provide Heat for 2600 square foot shop. Unique Installation uses large under ground storage basin, comprising of sand, rock and pex piping. This storage stores the heat energy produced in summer and utilizes it through out the winter. Dual solar storage tanks and dual PAW Flow Con pump stations with RESol controllers supply energy to the storage basin. Also installed are two RESol data loggers for remote web base monitoring of the system. Next phase is 26 collectors for complete solar home heating and solar air conditioning coming in Fall 2010.

Description:
This solar heating project 4 x TZ58 1800 30R collectors and 1 x TZ58 1800 20R provide solar heat for 2300 square house in winter plus domestic hot water for family of 4 and also heats a large outdoor hot tub. Heat is stored in a 120 Gallon tank, and dissipated to 3 other heating zones as needed. 1.) hot tub, 2.) forced air furnace, 3.) garage shop heater. The shop heater also acts as a heat dissipater in the summer to ensure the system does not over heat.

Description:
4 x TZ58 1800 30R collectors for heating 2600 square foot ranch house in winter plus domestic hot water for family of 5 with additional summer tenant. Heat is stored in a 120 Gallon tank, and dissipated to solar radiant floor heating loop as needed via a 2nd pump and heat exchanger. The vertical installation provides better winter heat and reduces heat in summer.

Description:
3 x TZ58 1800 30R collectors for heating 1600 square foot house using a air to air heat exchanger in cold air return. Solar Evacuated Tube Collectors were optimally ground mounted with an under ground line to house for maximum performance. Cover are used in summer to cover 2 collectors leaving one collector for domestic hot water. Heat is stored in a 80 Gallon tank, and second pump pumps hot water to air/water exchanger located in cold return on furnace.
