The year 2017 was extraordinary for the mix of obstacles and successes the solar industry experienced. 

In January of 2016, a 15.5 kW SunDrum Solar HarvestHP thermal residential system was commissioned on a 2,100sqft home with a 500sqft outdoor pool in the Washington, D.C. area. The system now is the primary  source of space heating and cooling as well as domestic hot water and pool heating.
