AltaTerra Briefing Highlights Potential for Solar Cogeneration in Corporate Cafeterias
AltaTerra Research will present an overview and customer's perspective on solar cogeneration for large cafeterias on July 12.
- (1888PressRelease) June 30, 2011 - PALO ALTO, California - AltaTerra Research is pleased to announce the online briefing, "Taking 'Green' Cafeterias to the Next Level: Solar Cogeneration Fuels Facility Savings," to be held Tuesday, July 12 at 11:00 a.m. Pacific / 2:00 p.m. Eastern.
For large corporations and institutions feeding thousands on a daily basis, major energy use in onsite cafeterias has gone largely unaddressed. Offsetting energy used for electricity and hot water in cafeterias with on-site renewable energy offers real gains in environmental performance, and substantial financial savings. Solar cogeneration, which combines solar electric and hot water generation in a single array, represents an ideal fit with a cafeteria's energy use profile - one that requires significant amounts of both hot water and electricity.
In this free ninety-minute interactive briefing, Don Bray, President of AltaTerra Research will discuss how corporations are evaluating, installing, and financing on-site renewable energy systems. Gilad Almogy, founder and CEO of Cogenra Solar, will present the basics of solar cogeneration, including a discussion on what corporate cafeteria facilities are best suited for the technology. Ed Silva, general manager of Sonoma Wine Company, will discuss his experience installing and financing a fifteen module solar cogeneration system.
"As corporations look to reduce energy usage and improve environmental performance corporation-wide, many corporations are exploring on-site renewable energy generation to reduce their cafeteria's energy use. This event will be very useful for any organization with a large cafeteria facility interested in installing renewable energy. Particularly in hot-water intensive applications, such as cafeterias, solar cogeneration can be an ideal fit," said the event moderator Don Bray.
