@Sandy101Yep yep! You are right. The system is so simpleand easy to use too. I built myself in an almostperfect panel from my first attempt. And now itsbeen 4months since we're solar powered andwe've gone off the grid completely. Anyway, youmust have interchange the site name. It should be:GreenEnergyNow.info

Neg people here overlook the fact that houses are insulated, in cold months you only substantial ambient solar radiant heat from windows, if you build a box, in essence you build a large solar heat sink & pipe cold house air in, warm solar sink air out, not rocket or fringe science, if this did not work, neither would greenhouses, it isn't the perfect answer for all home heating needs, but a cheap supplement, or more when done right, a bit gawdy yes, but it screams, I use my brain to save $

Initial investment is what you make it. Solar air heaters are built daily for nothing. Some people just don't understand free.

People just dont understand the concept of initial investment.

I'm guessing all of those nay-sayers are people who sell electricity or gas.One wants all of the heat possible on the inside--to wit, inside the insulation. If a house is well insulated, I could not care less how hot the outside walls get and/or the attic.I've had passive solar in a house in New Mexico and it significantly cut heating bills. Sorry, to all of you people saying, "Oh don't try this; it doesn't work. It absolutely does work."

Yes some solar collectors my shade a portion of the house, but that has to inconsequential, if the collector directly heats the interior air of the home, where we want the heat. Just heating the exterior surfaces of the home is just wasting the solar available to the home. I may have mis understood your first sentence. :(

Ever notice that any solar heater on the outside actually block sunrays and leaving a shadow behind it... It is far cheaper to put a aluminium foil reflector on the ground to reflect the sunlight that would otherwise hit the ground unused. Also put more reflectors in the area that can reflect sunlight back against the colder, damper northern side of your house.

Sun heat is everywhere and why block it even with your well intended solar devices even on the roof! Your house needs all the solar radiation it can get. So move all your solar devices out of your house sun exposure even passively |
