The owners of the new premium Hotel "Las Playitas" in Fuerteventura, one of the Canary Islands, decided to have solar heating installed by Solar-Ripp to keep the 2 000 m3 of water in their Olympic training pool at a constant 25 to 26 C°. The annual sun radiation figure for this all-year sunshine island is 2MWh per m², offering optimal conditions for all-year use of free solar energy.
The requisite know-how and the tailor-made 5,000 square feet of solar panels were supplied by the German manufacturer, Solar-Ripp®, while local management was taken care of by Solartec Canarias S.L. The Spanish operators of Grand Resort are now totally relaxed about any future energy price hikes.
