The solar panel collector collects solar energy to heat the water. The water storage tank stores the heat transfer fluid that is usually distilled water. When the solar sensor detects that the solar collector has captured sufficient heat, it circulates the heat transfer fluid through the collector.
Westwood Renewables undertakes projects to install solar power systems. The company provides different site assessment services that include assessment of solar resource, shading aspects, construction logistics, roof systems, pre-existing infrastructure and ground systems. The company first analyses the project, and checks for financial and incentive potentials. Westwood Renewables performs the initial verification of the site and based on that equipment layout is prepared. The assessment for environmental preservation and utility interconnection are also conducted by the company.
