Solar in Ottery
Cape Town's irradiation makes solar water heating an efficient investment. We install and maintain solar hot-water systems, including pre-heat configurations that feed heat pumps or boilers. In Ottery, industrial rooftops with high solar gain. Plant rooms need airflow clearance to avoid short-cycling.
