Cool solarhotairpanels from Warwick, Rhode Island

Hello all..

Just jumping in to say hello to everyone on the forums.

I am currently active at the Simply Solar Forums and just now getting involved with some of the other forums out there like Solarpaneltalk and Techluck.com

I have built and installed 4 - solar hot air collectors at my home. If anyone would like a pdf file showing how I built them feel free to email me directly and I'll send it over to you.

The pdf file is 6 meg LARGE so make sure your email program can handle the size of the file ok?

Take care,
Pat

Welcome to the site Pat. We would love to hear about your solar setup!

If you'd like, I can upload the file to the website here and provide you with a link you can use.

Default PDF file showing hot air collector build

Sounds good to me DAOX,

If you email me I will email you the pdf file.
It's about 6 meg in size.

It shows the materials I used, the build and a wiring diagram for the snap disk controller I used to turn the fan on/off automatically making it a plug and play unit.

I just plug them in when it starts to get cold and forget about em for the entire winter.

Snow melts right off the polycarbonate sheathing so nothing to do but enjoy the free heat (minus the cost to run a 6 inch booster fan)

PS: I also have a pdf file showing my DIY solar hot water drainback system which I use for not just domestic hot water but for heat distribution as well.

Both pdf's have a bunch of pictures and information for those interested in doing up their own DIY project.

by the way.... NICE HOUSE ya have there!
You need all the solar help you can get in Wisconsin eh? Perty Cold in those there parts!

Take care,
Pat
