Hales Ales in Seattle is Going Solar

We are extremely excited about one of our next projects which is Hales Ales Brewery in Seattle's Fremont neighborhood. It isn't done yet but pretty soon Hales Ales is going to have 16 new Thermomax solar thermal collectors from Net Zero Impact. That's a total of 480 evacuated tubes.

Along with the solar components, Hales Ales is also installing a new boiler system to replace his existing, highly inefficient boiler.

It's a very cool project and we are excited to get to work with such a great local, sustainable brewer like Hales Ales. If you have any questions, please see our Facebook page here and ask any questions you would like.

Thanks for the support!!

Big Al Brewing Company Goes Solar

Fellow Solar Enthusiasts,

Net Zero Impact is proud to announce that Big Al Brewing Company in Seattle's White Center neighborhood has decided to GO SOLAR!!

The micro brewing industry is a popular one here in the Northwest as many of you know. With multiple new breweries popping up every year it's important for existing brewers to set a great example for future generations and Alejandro (Big Al) is the first in the state to set such an example.

With Net Zero Impact's "hybrid" system including a new high efficiency boiler along with 180 evacuated tubes, Big Al is going to save over 50% compared to his previous heating method. The new system is going to give him the ability to double brew vs. his old system which only allowed him to brew once every couple of days. This in turn equals more beer to sell and more money in the long run.

The system is very unique. Obstacles with the existing brewery meant no collectors on the roof, so Big Al voted to have the entire solar hot water system installed on top and inside of a 45 ft. container, 2/3rds of which Big Al will get to use for storage space.  

Big Al Brewing Company was a pleasure to work with. They understand that every industrial process, including brewery operations, requires A LOT of energy. Whether it's making beer or washing down for the next batch, solar hot water makes sense for industrial applications.

Thank you,

The Net Zero Impact Team

Welcome to our blog

Welcome to our brand new blog!

We are excited to have yet another opportunity to tell you all about our new projects and keep you up to date on already completed ones. Blogging is a new adventure for us so we hope you will be patient as we continue to edit our blog and keep it as up to date as possible. We plan to update the blog every other week so keep a lookout.

You can also find us on Facebook at: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Net-Zero-Impact/136154093065429

At Net Zero Impact (www.netzeroimpact.com) we strive to find the best and most cost effective ways to work with residential and commercial customers to install a solar technology that actually works in the Northwest, solar hot water from Kingspan Solar. It's not always easy since folks in the Northwest still question the viability of solar, but that is slowly starting to change. We are always looking for new ways and new places to use solar thermal technology and would love to hear some of your suggestions.

Feel free to give us a call, send us an email or be our friend on Facebook. If we all stick together maybe, just maybe, we can stop this whole global warming thing!

Thanks,
Net Zero Impact
