Case study. 500 LPD solar water at a home for aged destitutes

Jeeva Jothi illam home for aged destitutes in Redhills, Chennnai is home to around 100 aged destitutes. It is run by Sisters of Gospel of Life. The inmates are taken care by nuns and workers.

A hot water bath gives the aged inmates a comfortable stay. The home had a 2 x 500 LPD solar water system. However, one of the 500 LPD systems got severely damaged, beyond repair in the Varadhah cyclone in December 2016.

That is when, we were called to get the hot water supply ready to the aged inmates.
We installed a 500 LPD Solar Water Heating system.

System Configuration

1. 500 LPD Solar Water Heating System
2. Evacuated Tube Collector (ETC model)
3. Lasts for more than 15 years

Energy Savings

The 500 LPD solar water heater saves around Rs. 10,000/- in the electricity bills.
