The window size and overhang ratio for passive solar heating in winter without too much heat gain in the summer should never be mentioned in an article like this without giving a clue as to what that may be.

I spent waaaaay too much time trying to find the formula and was really frustrated by people who wrote about it as if everyone would know what it should be. In my garage / workshop project thread, I listed all that out after I finally found the information. It's on page 10, post #91. This link will take you to it.

Most of these articles are so generic / basic that they must be done to whet your appetite for information. If that's the case and you are willing to do some research, it's done its job.
