Spas and Health Clubs spend a tremendous amount on electricity to power their exercise equipment and gas for hot water heating for guest bathing.

Renewable energy solutions, such as solar PV and solar thermal are a natural way to reduce both utility costs and your carbon foot print.

Solar Thermal or Solar Water Heating (SWH) makes sense for any health club with high utility costs on natural gas for hot water heating required for their operations. Health Clubs with swimming pools and spas are especially attracted to Solar Water Heating  because of the tremendous savings realized with solar hot water heating . Solar thermal heating systems are more efficient at generating energy compared with solar photovoltaic panels and therefore more cost effective to install, because fewer solar panels are needed.

Federal tax credits, PG&E rebates, and other incentives make the investment very affordable. Return on investment can be achieved in 3-5 years in many spas.

In addition to reducing fuel costs and greenhouse gas emissions, a solar PV and solar thermal installation can earn points for spas considering LEED certification.

Being a "Green Spa" or " Green Health Club"  also gives you long term sustainability and attract clients who prefer environmentally responsible businesses.
