This facility has 4 self-service bays and one automatic tunnel. Previously, the car wash relied solely on propane for their hot water heating. A 10-collector evacuated-tube array was mounted on the west-facing roof of the car wash. A somewhat non-traditional mounting approach was used in order to obtain the necessary south-facing orientation. The array feeds a 512-gallon storage tank which delivers the heated water to the pre-existing water heater. The system will produce the energy equivalent of 47,000 kWhrs annually, translating to over 1,600 gallons of propane saved save per year, with a life expectancy of 20 years!
