EcoRenovator - View Single Post - Got a bunch of solar hot water panels, for free!

Today me and Ben Nelson took a road trip up to central Wisconsin to pickup some solar hot water panels that Ben's cousin had removed from her house a while ago. We had messed around with one of these panels a while ago and documented it here. The panels need some refurbishing work done to them. But, in total we now have 10 panels that are about 3'x6.5' for a total of 195 square feet of collector!

Here are some of the pics from the trip:

Here is what we found when we got there. The panels have been in the barn for quite some time with the glass off of them.

So, we loaded up Ben's truck with the glass first.

Then we stacked the panels on top of them.

A couple hours later we were back at my house with the panels all unloaded!

Ben has some video of the expedition that he'll share later.
