> Can anyone tell me about the solar wall an auto paint plant in Toronto

>  We have a 25,000 sq ft shop/sales floor that needs high ventilation to
> rid it of combustion gases, but wants to make this happen while meeting
> Leed Gold standards. They are interested in recycling rain water and
> solar heating it for washing very large vehicles and PV for some portion
> of the electrical supply. The anticipated power supply to the building
> is 3-phase 1800V, 1200amp service. Where do you begin "eating an elephant"?
