Bhavin preparing and brazing the copper for the MHC's solar thermal system.
Brazing is a high temperature metal-joining process that is used on all joints on the piping to ensure that the extremely hot water-glycol solution will not leak out once the whole system is up and running. These pipes are part of the pumping panel system

Danny gave Bhavin a solid C on the first joint which was quickly followed by a B. At this rate he’ll be at an A+ in no time!

 
Medicine Hat College is in the process of implementing solar energy technologies into the operations of our campus. Our solar thermal project will provide domestic hot water to the Trades Building heated via a solar thermal panel installed on the roof of the T Wing on-site of the college. The college is also looking to install 5 kW of solar photovoltaic panels on the roof which will be integrated into our existing electrical supply. Students are involved in the construction and performance verification of these systems. This project is being supervised by Danny Wilson, MHC’s Trades Innovation Coordinator. Hamed Bahri, an MHC Engineering Instructor, is the student supervisor for the data collection from our solar energy system.
