How Our Evacuated Tube Solar Thermal Panels Work
Capturing ultra-violet (UV) rays even on cloudy days, these innovative Solar Thermal water and space heating heating panels convert UV rays to usable BTU energy. If you have a steam boiler or use more than 300 gallons of hot water a day, you may be able to save a considerable amount of money with our Solar Thermal technology.
Every day, more and more businesses are going green with renewable energy projects to reduce emissions and save money. Let MTD show you financial options including PPAs and other capital investment programs to help your business join the renewable energy wave. Energy cost and emissions reduction can really be that simple and easy.
Benefits of a Solar Thermal Water Heating System
There are several benefits that come with a SunQuest 250™ solar thermal water heating system from MTD:
- Reduces the cost of utilities, a major cost for any business.
- Increases the value of your property and your business.
- Eco-friendly because they provide renewable energy with no carbon footprint.
- Reliable, scalable thermal energy production.
- Increased goodwill in your community which benefits your business and yearly revenue.
- Offers tax benefits through the Federal Investment Tax Credit, accelerated depreciation, and Solar Renewable Energy Credits. MTD will provide an estimate of the tax benefits available for your project and offers third-party professional tax advice to determine IRS code compliance.
- A positive investment offering many years of financial and environmental returns.
Some of those may sound a bit hard to understand like the federal investment tax credit of the solar renewable energy credits, but they aren’t hard to grasp at all. We will break them down into the simplest terms for you.
The federal investment tax credit is the United States federal government provides an excise break that allows you a 30% rebate on the total price of your solar power system. We will use small numbers as an example. Let’s say your solar thermal collector system cost $500,000.00, you will get a 30% tax credit on that cost, which is $150,000.00.
Accelerated depreciation is where you write off the entire cost of your commercial solar thermal panel system in the first year. Normally depreciation is spread over the lifetime of the item.
Do Solar Thermal Panels Work in Cold Weather?
A good question and one frequently asked. The answer is yes, and this test taken in less-than-ideal winter conditions proves it. Note the test details including time, location, current weather conditions, and temperature listed below. The image on the left is the actual panel that was tested, with parts of it covered in snow.
We are supremely confident in the innovation achieved in the manufacturing of this top rated solar thermal panel. This test however blow us all away with such stunning results on a day that is typical for Indiana winters and the same for many states in the northern part of the country.
LOCATION – Indianapolis, Indiana
Date of Test – January 2023
