WARM AIR SOLAR COLLECTOR
AND
SOLAR GREENHOUSE BASICS MANUAL

Passive Solar means that the sun's energy either passes into a substance or through it to the other side. Most Solar Collectors are expensive because commercial companies design their systems to incorporate large amounts of storage. Very expensive. The beauty of this collector is that it takes inside air from near the floor which is cool and puts it through the collector warming it to around 120 degrees, enough to drastically warm that part of the house, barn, or workroom that is usually cold. As long as the sun is shining you have free heat. This even works on slightly cloudy days.

This manual covers everything from exact material lists to avoiding common problems. I have added a special section on Solar Greenhouse Basics. For anyone who is interested in Solar, this combination of Solar Collector and Greenhouse Basics will help you plan and build systems that will work well and save you money on energy.

The amount of the sun's energy far exceeds our needs. The greenhouse effect takes advantage of the sun's short waves to pass through glass, plexiglass, or any other semi-translucent substance no matter what the outside ambient air temperature is.

Normal heating costs rise 7% for every degree the air in the home is heated after 60 degrees. In other words to heat the home to 60 degrees might cost an average home owner $80 a month. Heating your home to 76 degrees might cost as much as $182. Tests show a solar collector can produce up to 300 B.T.U's per square foot.

In other words .......Solar Works
