Developer to Build Europe's Largest SolarWall System in Latvia

SOLAR DAILY

Demand for the SolarWall technology is strong because it generates such a compelling business case, in terms of both ROI, and the system's life cycle cost savings. Furthermore, it is ideally suited to commercial, industrial and institutional clients, which are the largest consumers of energy and emitters of CO2.

The Baltic country of Latvia will soon be home to the largest SolarWall system in Europe. 22,000 ft2 (2,100 m2) of solar panels, delivering more than 1 MW of thermal energy, have been specified for heating and ventilation purposes at a new warehousing and distribution complex in Latvia. The installation is scheduled to be completed by the end of the summer, and the system will displace more than 400 tons of CO2 each year.

This particular solar project is significant because the SolarWall technology was specified as an integral component of the overall ventilation system on the building. Elipse BLC is a developer of distribution and logistic centers for large companies setting up operations in the Baltic countries, and they have looked to North American expertise in the design and optimization of the heating and ventilation system.

The SolarWall technology was chosen not only because it uses renewable energy, but also because of its cost-competitiveness and its ability to satisfy the ventilation requirements for the facility. As well, there is a growing interest in Eastern Europe to adopt proven green technologies which are currently used in other parts of the world.

The SolarWall air heating system heats the ventilation air that is required in commercial and industrial buildings using a patented unglazed perforated collector. The technology was developed by Conserval Engineering, Inc. and is being supplied to Conserval's representative, Sia ABACO of Latvia, and will include the solar panelling, fans, and interior ducting.

Ventilation heating is typically one of the largest single energy requirements for commercial and industrial buildings, which is why solar air heating can generate such significant overall energy reductions.
