| Solar equipment is offered by the city for the
heating of swimming pools, process water, and domestic hot water.
The pieces of hardware (solar collectors, controls and storage
tanks) are owned and maintained by the city under a rental agreement.
The renter pays an initial installation fee and a monthly utility
fee. These amounts vary according to the size of the installation.
In planning for a solar heating installation it is important
to provide sufficient exposure on a south or southwest facing
roof area. Other factors to consider include the distance
and access to the conventional heating equipment, space constraints
for the solar accessories and shading of the solar collectors
(either daily or seasonally).
For any questions concerning the Solar Utility Program, or
for assistance in planning for a solar heating installation,
call 615-2000 - Santa Clara City Solar Utility
