ENJOY BENEFITS AND FLEXIBILITY
Profit from a Thermal Energy Services Agreement (TESA)
- Immediate cost savings with no investment costs
- Pay monthly only for hot water or cooling used
- No O&M costs
- Flexible options after end of the agreement
Or profit from purchasing a system
- Long term energy cost savings
- Long system life with reliable production
- Take advantage of attractive Federal and State incentives
- Improve your image by having a high profile, renewable energy system on your building
- Collector shading – reduce internal heat load

- Support a clean environment with long term CO2 savings
The Process:
- No cost site visit by a SOLID California representative
- No cost Feasibility Study (FS) produced by SOLID California. FS includes technical analysis and economic analysis of the TESA.
- Decision if either a TESA or system purchase is beneficial.
- Upon execution of either the TESA or a purchase contract, a representative of SOLID California will serve as the building owner’s point-of-contact throughout the system installation process and for the duration of the TESA.

HEATING AND COOLING SOLUTIONS
Today, typical SOLID systems have at least several thousand ft² of solar collector area and are designed to offset between 20-80% of the original energy consumption. Using solar thermal collectors to produce hot water for a variety of applications such as bathing water in dorms, laundry water at a hotel, kitchen water at restaurants, etc. The technology can also be used to cool buildings to provide heating and cooling for industrial processes.
SOLAR HOT WATER
The standard application for Solar Thermal
A residential domestic hot water (DHW) system, is probably the most well-known Solar Thermal application. Today, systems covering tens of thousands of square feet, have become standard technologies for hotels, hospitals, and multi-family housing, supplying for free green energy for decades at no costs.
For systems greater than a 100,000 ft² collector area, seasonal storage is becoming more popular. With seasonal storage, entire cities can benefit by using solar heat produced in the summer to provide heating in the winter.
SOLAR COOLING
Converting Solar Heat to Cooling – A service “Just in time”
Absorption chillers are well known in the industry for cooling while using heat from a gas burner or steam as an energy source. Special high temperature flat plate collectors provide hot water at 200°F which is used by an absorption chiller to produce chilled water down to 42°F. The cold water is distributed via standard air handling units and fan coils for air conditioning buildings and for industrial processes. In addition to generate cooling, the solar cooling system can also provide domestic hot water.
SOLAR PROCESS HEATING/COOLING
secure and economic supply for industrial processes and cleaning
Many industrial processes run on temperature levels below 212°F. Solar process heating and cooling can substantially offset the plant’s energy usage. The food and beverage industry, chemical and textile industry, all cleaning processes etc. have a high potential to benefit from solar process heating and cooling. Our optimized custom solutions use other locally available energy sources, such as waste heat, which can provide the best environmental and economic results for the client.
More than 20 years of expertise
YES, WE ARE EXPERIENCED
Completing over 300 installations since 1992, SOLID is an expert when it comes to working with commercial or governmental clients. We have been working with global institutions, such as UNIDO, World Bank, Harvard University, M.I.T., as well as several top international brands.
Already back in 1998 we started to offer Thermal Energy Services Agreements (TESA) and gained high experiences in financing & economical operations of the system. Several numbers of plants with an investment over 50 Mio. USD stand for our success in the field of TESA.
SOLAR COOLING
The perfect correlation: The highest output of solar cooling systems is achieved when the cooling demand is at its maximum during the sunny hours of the day. Solar cooling therefore helps by reducing electricity use during the time of highest peak demand charges.
SOLAR HEATING
A Solar Hot Water system is easy to integrate, and provides the most efficient solar technology. It can deliver approximately 5 times more energy than a photovoltaic system of the same size.
SOLAR PROCESS HEAT
Using solar process heating and cooling as energy efficiency measure in industry has a high potential. Optimized solar system solutions including waste heat recovery create an ecological and economical added value.
