Solar system in public rental housing unused
    2018-12-28  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

A SOLAR water-heating system in Langlujiayuan, a government-subsidized public rental housing estate in Nanshan District, has been left unused for the past three years since its tenants moved in, the Southern Metropolis Daily reported.

According to the report, the solar facilities have been installed on top of the residential buildings in Langlujiayuan, which has been dubbed the city’s most beautiful public rental housing estate. However, the facilities haven’t been put into use. The railings of the solar facilities were covered with clothes, quilts and dried food by residents living in the estate.

A staffer with the city’s housing and construction bureau confirmed to the Daily that the solar heating facilities have not been used.

The staffer said that the solar system in the Langlujiayuan estate adopts a centralized model to provide heated water, but each apartment also has its own gas water heater.

“At the time when the buildings were under construction, the city was promoting centralized solar systems for water heating. Each housing project was required to install solar facilities. However, problems gradually emerged after the construction. For example, residents complained about the noise of the facilities and said that the water supply system was not stable during cold and rainy days. As a result, we stopped using the facilities,” the staffer said.

The staffer said the bureau would consider the possibility of restarting the system, based on the experience of pilot projects and research on the technology.
