Creighton University Launches US' First Naked Energy Solar Thermal Project
Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska, has partnered with British Solar-PVT technology company Naked Energy for a significant clean energy project. The university has deployed Naked Energy's TÜV-certified solar thermal technology at Graves Hall, marking the company's US launch. ELM Companies' new division, ELM Solar, completed the installation and will distribute Naked Energy's technology nationwide from 2024.
The installation, comprising 240 Virtu solar heat collectors, has a peak capacity of 69.9 kWp thermal. It will heat water for 400 freshers moving into Graves Hall and reduce greenhouse gases by 40 metric tonnes annually. Rev. Daniel S. Hendrickson, SJ, PhD, President of Creighton University, welcomed the project, stating it aligns with the university's sustainability initiative and creates a cutting-edge campus environment.
Lee C. Graves, Founder and Chairman of ELM Companies, praised the potential of solar heat technology for financial and carbon savings. Christophe Williams, Co-Founder and CEO of Naked Energy, echoed this, noting that the new system will help Creighton University meet its sustainability goals and control energy costs. Naked Energy's Virtu solution is estimated to reduce three times the greenhouse gases per square meter compared to traditional solar PV panels.
The installation at Creighton University sets a clean energy benchmark for campuses across the US. With ELM Solar set to distribute Naked Energy's technology nationwide from 2024, more institutions can now consider this innovative solution for their sustainability goals.
