SunMaxx Solar, a leading, vertically integrated manufacturer of solar thermal systems and components, is pleased to announce the installation of a solar thermal system at Moody Air Force Base.

The project was conducted in conjunction with Intelligent Green Solutions (IGS) who was contracted by Kevin Kilpatrick and Santiago Iturralde of Slone Associates, Inc. to design and install the solar system. The system was installed to help further the base as well as the Air Forces’ leading green energy initiatives. The solar thermal installation included 420 square feet of 20 TitanPowerPlus SU2 series flat plate collectors. The system was a drainback design with a non-pressurized storage tank.

Moody Air Force Base is located near the city of Valdosta in Southern Georgia, 30 miles from the Florida border. The base occupies nearly 12,000 acres of federally owned land. The solar thermal system was installed for a mess hall which serves 3 meals a day to the residents on the base. The system was completely installed and commissioned this month.

“Moody AFB, AKEA and Slone Associates, Inc are very pleased with the system configuration, installation and performance. My thanks to all involved at IGS and SunMaxx Solar!!!”, exclaims Santiago Iturralde of Slone Associates in Valdosta, GA.

SunMaxx Solar will continue to develop and help procure the installation of solar thermal systems at US military bases around the world.

Federal mandates require that 25% of Air Force facility energy use comes from renewable energy sources by 2025 and Moody will help the push to stay on the list of green power partners. The USAF leads the US Government in green energy installations – with more than 6% of their total energy usage across all facilities coming from renewable and green energy sources.

SunMaxx Solar aims to build a sustainable future for our global community. In today’s energy consuming world, SunMaxx offers world-class solar energy and renewable products, striving to meet the increasing need for alternative energy sources.

SunMaxx Solar, a leading, vertically integrated manufacturer of solar thermal systems and components, is pleased to announce the installation of a solar thermal system at Richard Stockton College in Galloway, NJ.

SunMaxx in conjunction with Intelligent Green Solutions (IGS) worked with Richard Stockton College to plan, design and install a solar thermal system on three of the campus buildings. The install included 90 TitanPowerPlus SU2 Flat Plate Solar Collectors (30 panels on each building) and a 512 Gallon Solar Hot Water Storage Tank.

Each of the 3 buildings was actually a paired set of student residence halls, and the installation called for three identical solar hot water systems to be installed on these dormitories. The scope of the project called for each solar thermal systems to meet no less than 27% of the 3,138 gallons of hot water that was used in each dorm every day during the school year. Additionally, the system was required to provide complete overheat-protection during the three summer months when the residence halls were not used. This installation is was completed in December 2011.

Adam Farrell, CEO of SunMaxx Solar comments, “ We are thrilled that SunMaxx Solar enabled Richard Stockton College to meet their green energy goals with a successful solar energy design using SunMaxx solar industry leading products .”

IGS Showcases Solar Thermal Technology at Clean Energy Summit

igssolar — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 21:23:27 +0000

There is no doubt that renewable green energy is becoming more and more of an eminent issue for the average American consumer. Concerns regarding climate change, reliance on international resources, and maintaining an ecosystem that will last into the future have all brought significant attention to the solar energy industry, which has been largely under the radar for the past decade or so. In light of these issues, Ithaca College hosted the Clean Energy Summit on the 17^th of September, focusing on the future of a green economy in upstate New York. The event was a great opportunity for individuals to learn more about sustainability and the solar energy industry in particular, as many eco-friendly companies from around the Finger Lakes area joined to exhibit the latest news and technologies emerging in solar energy. Of course, Intelligent Green Solutions participated in the event, showcasing its evacuated tubes for solar thermal heating, and illustrating the numerous benefits and practicality of installing a solar system in your own home. The event was a major success, connecting students, businesses, and members of government (including US Representative for the 22^nd District of New York, Maurice Hinchey) to the concept of a green future.
