I have been thinking about ways to prevent humidity, and adding lids to the sump holes are high on my list if ideas.
I have found that a coroplas lid on one of my new sump holes keeps the radon gas
flow down to normal, instead of spraying of dangerous levels!

I would love to make one of those down-spout heaters for the basement.
The number 1 looks great! Two Solar Air Heating Collectors Using Gutter Downspout Absorbers

My wife is very concerned about anything visible that might look different
than other houses on the street. So, until everyone else puts panels
or solar collectors on their houses, we will not have those "ugly" things on our house..

I have discovered one way to cut humidity, never again test the oil burner when it's really humid outdoors!
This month's test was during a rain shower! I should have looked outside before hitting the switch!
