Emerging Clean Energy Solutions: Solar Water Heating on the Rise - Tapping into Commercial Solar Thermal
AltaTerra Research, April 2011, Pages: 82
The commercial and institutional solar water heating market is primed for liftoff in the United States, presenting a new opportunity for vendors and customers alike. The US market, hampered by a lack of consistent policy support in the past and recently slowed by low natural gas prices, has nonetheless benefited from new government incentives and an increase in customers exploring renewable energy to meet resource reduction goals and hedge against rising energy prices.
This study answers customer-facing questions about solar thermal systems producing hot water in US commercial and institutional facilities. Quantitative and qualitative analyses are based on information from interviews, public sources, a proprietary database of installations, and profiles of more than 250 customer-sited projects. This report profiles example customers and installations, including purchase motivations, costs, and finance models, with which current and potential market participants can compare their experience and assumptions.
In addition, this report provides the essentials that every participant in the marketplace should have as reference: overviews of US and global markets; technology types, applications, and costs; and relevant federal and state regulations and incentives. The report closes with a set of recommendations for getting the most out of potential customer siting opportunities, from qualification to evaluation and expansion.
