Year: 2008
Location: Canada
Summary: The SolarWall system was sized to heat up to 20,000 cfm of air & will displace the  propane that is currently used at the facility, thus yielding a payback of approximately 5 years.

Year: 2008
Location: Ramapo, NY
Summary: At the time the project was approved in 2006, the cost of heating oil was $1.18 a gallon and the project had a payback period of under 10 years. As of 2008, the price of heating oil in NY state had tripled and was fluctuating in the range of $4 to $4.70 a gallon, resulting in a 3 year payback. Given the magnitude of the energy reductions, this highlights why the SolarWall technology offers such a compelling ROI in terms of hedging against volatile energy prices.

Year: 2006
Location: Richmond, BC
Summary:  The Hamilton Firehall, with its innovative solar process drying application, is now able to dry fire hoses in an environmentally sound way. The SolarWall® system has reduced the amount of energy traditionally used for drying the hoses, with the added benefit of cutting GHG emissions and requiring no maintenance on its 30+ year lifespan.
