Wow, those are some large pictures!

We get some solar gain during the day, from the windows.
But if I could increase the capture area, it would be really helpful.

Not that many square feel of windows..

But, my wife doesn't like the look of extra stuff on the house.
She thinks what people 'think' about her house is more important
than saving the planet..

(She does drive a Prius)..

So, if I could sell her on anything, it would have to look very nice..
Like a nice modern looking greenhouse/sun-room thing.?.
