The Wellstone Apartment’s solar hot water system is exceeding expectations in Minneapolis. It was installed with help from the Minnesota Solar Hot Water Rebate Program, and was originally supposed to supply half of the building’s hot water but currently serves 60% of the resident’s hot water needs. Wellstone represents a growing trend with large urban buildings trying to reduce their energy use by incorporating technologies such as solar thermal systems.
