Case study

Hospital, Western Cape

100 Hybrid Solar Photovoltaic-Thermal (PVT) panels supply electricity and hot water for showers at this164 bed multi-specialist hospital. This is an integrated solution combining PVTs and heat pump to deliver hot water and electricity to the building.

Hospital installation

Project Highlights:

• Industry: Hospital

• System Design: Solar Thermal + PV, Heat recovery, Heat Pump and Heat Battery.

• Delivered: 2025

• The system will off-set: 2,328,478 kg CO2 over the expected economic life-time of 20 years.

• System is equipped with remote monitoring and control

• Peak thermal output: 138KW

• Peak Electrical output: 38kW Peak.

• This is a 100% renewable solution where more than 60% of the hot water demand is met directly by Solar heat while the remaining is covered by heat pumps. Electricity produced by PVTs covers the electricity needs of the heat pump on an annual basis

• Electricity produced compensates for the electricity required by the heat pumps
