Year: 2009
Location: Montreal, Canada
Summary: In 2007, plans for the construction of a brand new facility that would house the business school were underway, and the Solar Buildings Network at Concordia proposed the idea of demonstrating a new state-of-the-art hybrid solar technology - SolarWall^® PV/Thermal - developed by Conserval Engineering. The John Molson School of Business featured the first SolarWall PV/T System in Canada.

Year: 2008
Location: Beijing, China
Summary: The Olympic Park Developer had a mandate to incorporate innovative green technologies into the 2008 Beijing Olympic Village.  As part of that mandate, Conserval Engineering’s SolarWall^® and PV/TTM systems were chosen to be showcased on a central building in the Village.

Year: 2002
Location: California
Summary: The lower section contains the SolarWall PV/T solar cogeneration system. The thermal component removes the excess heat generated by the PV array, and uses it for some of the heating purposes.

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: 2007
Location: Quebec, Canada
Summary: The SolarWall system has produced excellent energy reductions by displacing over 30% of the propane usage at the farm.   This has translated into annual savings of over $4,000 (at 2007 propane 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.

Year: 2005
Location: California
Summary: It was a logical choice to use the SolarWall® technology in the drying process.  Not only does the solar technology provide uniform drying to the delicate crops, but it is also very cost-effective  since the fuel is free.

Year: 2004
Location: Panama
Summary: The SolarWall technology has greatly improved the drying process at one of Panama’s largest coffee producers. Using the sun as fuel – instead of the traditional wood - ensures that the coffee producer does not contribute to deforestation or greenhouse gas emissions.

Year: 2002
Location: Buffalo, NY
Summary: The air for drying is first passed over the chickens in order to preheat it, and then solar heated air is added to increase the emperature.  A natural gas heater can supplement the heat if necessary.  The air is then sent through the manure drying building.  On sunny days the natural gas heater can shut down with all of the heated air being provided by the SolarWall panels.

Year: 2001
Location: Hassan District, India
Summary: The SolarWall coir peat solar drying system has relatively long operating hours and operates at moderate temperatures. It displaces about 14% of the heating fuel, yielding a 2 year payback.

Year: 2001
Location: Quebec, Canada
Summary: This unique solar drying application has translated into annual savings of $8000 (at 2001 natural gas prices). It is also reducing greenhouse emissions by 30 tonnes each year.

Year: 2000
Location: China
Summary: The 600 ft2 system was installed on the south roof of a nearby building. The solar energy is incorporated as the heater for the drying air of the new tunnel dryer,  which uses a tray and rack system for uniform drying.
