La Caridad

Savosolar and its partner Jorgensen have been selected by Grupo Mexico for the implementation of their first solar thermal plant to deliver carbon free heat to their mining process. In this very energy efficient mining process, only 62 pieces of Savo 15SGM large scale high performance flat plate collectors are sufficient deliver 1,2 GWh of energy over the year and cover 100% of the production need during most of the sunny season.

Voreppe

Veolia, a global corporation with focus on transport, waste, water and energy built and operate a new district heating network for the city of Voreppe, France.

For this solar installation, the space available for collectors was limited to a structure in midair between two buildings. Having a high solar yield was important criteria. Consequently, Veolia chose the well-designed Savosolar solution and its Savo 15 DG flat plate collectors being the most efficient in the market.

This installation in Voreppe was Savosolar’s first turn-key delivery for district heating in France. It raised interest among the district heating sector showing the potential of solar thermal as a clean heat production.
