33-unit Arby's franchisee adopts solar water heating

Nation's Restaurant News, Dec 17, 2007

FLETCHER, N.C. -- An Arby's franchisee here is switching its 33 restaurants to solar-powered water heaters.

The franchisee, The Winning Team, said the changeover from conventional natural-gas-fueled heaters would save $12,000 annually.

The new system will use 132 solar panels that can heat water even on cloudy days. One of Winning Team's Arby's outlets has already installed the solar panels, and the other 32 units would make the switch by February, the franchisee said.
