SCG currently offers a rebate for commercial <br />installation of solar hot water heating systems. For this <br />measure, the City will directly contact laundromat owners and <br />encourage them to take advantage of this rebate. Installing <br />solar hot water heating systems will benefit laundromat <br />owners through decreased energy costs. <br />As an example, Woody's Laundromat in Oakland, CA installed a <br />solar water heating system in 2012.16 After the California Solar <br />Initiative rebate and federal tax incentives, the system will pay <br />for itself in only four years, and solar hot water on this single <br />business is reducing emissions by 13 MTCOze /year. <br />'a www.freehotwater.com/ case - study- california- laundromat- washes - away -high- <br />hot- water -bi Ils- with - solar - water- heating/ <br />75B -60 <br />
