Picture
SSF is starting a new webinar series to feature green energy and environmentally friendly technologies with big potential benefits. The purpose of Going Green Without Going Into the Red is to learn about green technology applications and provide developers an opportunity to feature their innovations.
The first webinar in this series is on June 28th and we will book others as we find impactful technologies to review.  The format will be 
  • a presentation by a technical expert about the technology area
  • a short product presentation by developer
  • questioning by the expert
  • audience Q&A. 
Initially we are focusing on building performance because Scott Sklar, a noted clean energy technology leader has agreed to be the expert to kick off the series. Scott was the Executive Director of the Solar Energy Industries Association, so we are starting with a solar application and focusing on hot water heating. Water heating systems are the second biggest user of electricity in the home, accounting for an average of 18 percent of electricity costs, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. So the impact of solar alternatives is significant.
 
Solar Hot Water Systems - What you Need to Know
Residential/Commercial/Industrial Uses
June 28, 2017
1:15 to 2:15 PM EDT

Solar energy can be used in several ways to heat water for domestic, commercial and industrial uses. Examples include photo voltaic cells to generate electricity for hot water heaters and both passive and active thermal solar systems for direct heat. With the cost of solar equipment dropping, there are significant savings in solar hot water, but what are the considerations in determining which technology is best for your situation?
 
In this 60-minute webinar, Scott Sklar will review the pros and cons of investing in a solar hot water system (residential, commercial and industrial uses) and what to consider in making the investment decision. We will also hear from Arden Steiner, co-founder of Rayviance. The firm has added innovations to its license for a solar hot water technology based on a pump free thermosyphon convection flow system.  Arden has installed the system in a number of commercial and residential sites and will present them as case studies in the webinar.  He will explain why Rayviance has significant operational and cost advantages over the alternatives.  Scott will question Arden about the technology and it's advantages.
