El Chorro Lodge

December 24th, 2009    Carport All, Project Case Studies | 4 Comments »         

The recently constructed Solar Carport at  El Chorro Lodge in Paradise Valley, AZ  utilized the newly developed X Frame. The X frame column was used in order to provide a full cantilever roof structure for both single depth and head to head parking. The solar carports when finished will be fitted with a REC 220 solar panel and provide approximately 145kw.

    Now the sun is a bit lower in the sky my solar hot water panels don’t get hot enough quick enough . Two options to increase the temperature are. 1. A reflector to concentrate the heat from a couple of square metres down to a small heating coil.
