Solar Watt Solutions subsidiary inks California partnership

Meanwhile, in a separate statement, Solar Watt Solutions, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CleanSpark has announced a new partnership initiative with FAFCO, the nation’s oldest and largest solar thermal manufacturer, to expand CoolPV Operations into Malibu, Santa Barbara and the San Fernando Valley in California.

Solar Watt Solutions said it will increase solar and storage installations for its customers into the regions bringing cost-effective and sustainable backup energy solutions to Southern California homeowners.

Solar Watt Solution’s customers can now access the company’s sustainable methods of heating residential pools using renewable solar CoolPV panels provided by FAFCO. CoolPV, an enhanced solar electric system that provides improved electrical output and energy to heat pool water, utilizes a single panel that optimizes the homeowner’s solar roof space. CoolPV customers generate 20% more energy with the solar electric system and thermal energy to heat the pool. Additionally, CoolPV captures four times more energy from the sun than a traditional solar electric system, resulting in significant cost savings for customers.

Since 2009, Solar Watt Solutions and FAFCO have increased solar and storage installations to San Diego, California residents. Solar Watt Solutions is the number one installer of CoolPV systems in the United States and FAFCO has been a leading provider of solar pool heating equipment for over fifty years.

“Homeowners across Southern California are eager to power their homes and heat swimming pools in the same roof space. Residents in Malibu, Santa Barbara and San Fernando Valley in particular, are driving up demand for our solutions, making this the perfect time to expand operations into these regions with Solar Watts Solutions,” said Phil DelNegro, FAFCO chief revenue officer in the statement.
