Cogenra Solar Launches Solar Cogeneration Project at Tucson Medical Center
Cogenra Solar has launched a solar cogeneration project at Tucson Medical Center, the first of its kind in healthcare, featuring 46 SunDeck modules that will generate both renewable electricity and hot water. The 115kW system is projected to pre-heat 5,300 gallons of water daily and produce 31,600 kWh of electricity, significantly reducing natural gas consumption and saving the hospital over $8,500 in energy costs annually. This initiative aligns with TMC's goals to lower energy expenses and enhance sustainability.

Cogenra Solar has announced a solar cogeneration project at Tucson Medical Center (TMC), marking the first healthcare solar cogeneration application. The installation will consist of 46 SunDeck modules on the roof of TMC's power plant, generating renewable electricity and hot water.
This 115kW solar thermal system is expected to pre-heat 5,300 gallons of water daily and produce 31,600 kWh of electricity, reducing natural gas consumption by 7,000 therms annually and saving over $8,500 in energy costs. TMC aims to decrease its energy bills and natural gas usage through this renewable energy project, which aligns with the hospital's operational needs and environmental goals.
Cogenra Solar has previously implemented similar projects for various branches of the U.S. Military.
