  3. The solution

  4. The system

  5. Radiation in lima Source: NASA

  6. Installation Solar Water Heater Dimensions: 150 cm (wide), 199 cm (long), 80cm(high) Total Weight of the 12 panels: 730 kilos (with water included) • Installation: 5-7 days • Longevity: 15-20 years

  7. INstallation Architect Recommendations: • 6x2 grid layout on the side closest to Av. Las Palmeras to keep panels out of line of sight • Initial feedback of structure and weight is fine • Minimal further consultation required Avenue Pool Panels EC bldgs. Rooftop

  8. Maintenance Cleaning: • Wipe panels 1 time per week (takes 20 min) • Both past and current facilities managers have approved the maintenance plan for the system • Solar Water Heaters are not permanently fixed to the roof • Individual tubes can be replaced

  9. Educational benefits • Extended Essay • Data will be collected to show savings • Zayed Future Energy Prize • GIN project

  10. Cost: materials and installation • Total Cost of the project: $11,000 USD • PTA: Donation of $6,000 USD • SUNY: Donation of $5,000 USD

  11. project Savings • Estimated LPG saved: 11, 813 gallons • Estimated $ saved per year: 26,933 • Return of Investment: 4-5 months! • Potential for funds from savings to contribute to development of Revolving Green Fund for future sustainability initiatives • CO2 savings: 75 MT
