Tight margins come with the territory in the food service business, and restaurant owners are always looking for ways to cut operating costs in order to increase profits.  A solar hot water system can improve a restaurant’s bottom line by greatly reducing energy bills associated with heating water for cooking, cleaning, bathrooms and other uses.  SunWater Solar can help food service businesses improve their bottom line with solar thermal technology. Our systems drive business value by providing benefits such as:

  • Cost Effectiveness: Compared to other forms of renewable energy, solar thermal is highly economical and efficient. When compared to a solar photovoltaic (PV) system, a solar thermal system of equivalent energy output is almost seven times less expensive.
  • Reduced Emissions: Every day, millions of natural gas-powered water heaters release carbon emissions into the atmosphere. Solar thermal is a proven technology that heats water with clean solar energy, greatly reducing emissions.
  • Green Marketing: Stand out from other businesses by going green. Solar water heating can help differentiate your property as a leader in the worldwide movement to use renewable energy.
