Should have the second heat solar collector ready tomorrow....c'mon sunny skies!!

I use solar power to feed my garden

i dont get it. makes heat not electricity?

heat for what? your house? if house how does it transfer heat to house?

I have solar hot water. Similar to the internet it is a series of tubes, the difference however is that these tubes are covered in fins. The sun warms the fins which warms the water in the tubes.

Idk about solar heat tho maybe it’s solar hot water used for radiant heat in floor slabs

Yes, heat for the house. There is an inlet and outlet to the house. It takes air from the house and runs it through the collector and comes out about 60-70 degrees hotter.

That’s a cool concept

Yeah, I use 12 volt fans from old tower computers to move the air. Works well. The one I should have done tomorrow should be even hotter.

does it stay warm at night?

same question. does it stay warm at night?

i was thinking of getting solar panels for electricity. my uncle did a couple months ago and waiting to see how it worked for him.

No, only when the sun is out does it get hot. But it really heats up the house fast.

did you set it up yourself? if you did was it easy?

is it saving money during cold weather?
