Confirm after-sales supply of spare parts and monitoring system
Engineering Case Study
A textile manufacturing plant deployed a 450 m² Solar Panel Heating System for 75°C process water supply. The installation replaced 52% annual gas consumption, reducing operating cost by 34% and CO₂ emissions by 110 tons/year. Performance monitoring verified stable output even during partial cloud periods through hybrid design.
