Lithium Iron Phosphate (LifePO4) Solar Storage Battery Bank: LifePO4 batteries are fairly new for solar use. My home originally used a 24volt bank of lead acid (see pic on the right). These failed only after a year of use. This was a costly mistake. My replacement bank is LifePO4 25.6volt batteries as in the …

This is a solar air heater that uses the sun's heat to pump air into the house. It also stores heat into a bed of rock. Even after the sun sets, the heat from the rocks will still cause the thermosiphon effect to continue to work. After the sun sets, an insulated cover should be placed over the solar collector. Cheap double pane tempered safety glass can be found for free or really cheap at a glass shop. Just ask for used sliding glass doors. If they have moisture between the layers then…

Despite the enormous untapped potential of solar energy, one thing is for sure- photovoltaics are only as good as the sun's rays shining upon them. However, researchers at the Idaho National Laboratory are close to the production of a super-thin solar film

DIY Solar Water Heater From Plastic Bottles - Make a solar water heater from a pile of plastic bottles and cartons. This is great for the environment as it frees up waste trash and if you decide to build one you could use old bottles or what ever you have available.

Solar thermal collectors: A solar thermal collector collects heat by absorbing sunlight. The term "solar collector" commonly refers to solar hot water panels, but may refer to installations such as solar parabolic troughs and solar towers; or basic installations such as solar air heaters. Solar power plants usually use the more complex collectors to generate electricity. Simple collectors are typically used in residential and commercial buildings for space heating.

Solar Design Building Technology Structural Insulated Panel (SIP) Passive Solar As an early pioneer in passive solar design, David has designed solar architecture for virtually all climate zones and has authored three books which have helped define the principles of architectural climate design and the types of architectural solutions which are the mainstream concepts today.…
