About the Kalahari Resort Solar Hot Water System
The Kalahari Resort in Wisconsin Dells, Wis., is the new home of a 104-panel solar hot water system - the largest in the state. The Kalahari’s solar hot water system was completed with the help of a $50,000 Implementation Grant from Focus on Energy’s Renewable Energy Program, and will produce an estimated 11,807 therms per year, supplying hot water for the resort’s laundry facility that operates 24 hours a day. Supplying more than 10 percent of the resort’s hot water needs, the system will offset 69 tons of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere each year.
