Adding (retrofitting) a solar space heating system to your home is one way to combat increasing energy costs. If the sun shines on your home for most of the day in the winter, it is a potential candidate for solar hot air panels.

These panels are mounted on the roof or the south-facing side of your home. A flexible ductwork system will transfer the indoor air through the panel baffling system where the heat transfer is made. The return duct delivers the warmed air to your house. This air transfer is powered by a 12-volt blower motor, which can also be powered by a photovoltaic panel for further energy savings. An alternate application ties your duct work into your existing furnace.

A typical system will reduce home heating cost 30%, depending on the size of the system and weather conditions. Michigan is a great area to take advantage of solar hot air systems due to a long heating season, and high utility rates.

Along with the Solar Hot Water heater, we are saving an enormous amount of money. The installers were very prompt, professional, and friendly. Thanks to you and your team for making "going solar" so fun and easy, and appreciate your contribution to earth-friendly technologies."
