In 2006, TOTAL - PARCO, Pakistan decided to introduce solar powered car washes at its fuel stations that would harness the suns energy to produce hot water. The hot water would in turn be mixed with cold water to produce the optimum temperature for car washing. After enjoying success at their first installation on Airport Road, Pindi they are taking this concept to several more sites across Pakistan.
The benefits of solar in this case are:
Warm water gives the shine and glow of a brand new car
Complete removal of oil and mud stains
Best underbody wash
Reduced use of water
Elimination of detergents
Higher turnaround time of cars per hour
Elimination of electric power to warm water
Environmental conservation through reduced carbon dioxide emissions
