Solar Applications

Commercial and Industrial heating loads are so large that solar heating systems generally only provide a modest portion of the heat, ie: 5% to 20%. When sized to service this percentage of a load, solar heating systems operate at very high efficiencies, and produce very good returns. They also can be expected to perform for a very long time due to the lower operating temperatures.

Municipalities can expect the facilities they own, that could use some form of solar heating, are going to be in place for many years. Because of this, they may be willing to consider a moderate payback or return on capital investment. Many, if not all, commercial and industrial users are looking for dramatically fast paybacks and ROI's approaching 100% /year.

There are a number of Government programs designed to encourage the use of solar heating by businesses and municipalities. The Federal Renewable Energy Deployment Initiative, or REDI, program, has ended (December 31, 2006). It has replaced by the ecoACTION program. A subset of that program is called "ecoENERGY for Renewable Heat". This program is very similar to the former REDI program. At this point in time, the government of Ontario is matching the grant provided by the Federal program, for a combined total of up to 50% of the cost of a commercial solar heating system - if certain criteria are met.
