Solar Collector The solar collector we are building at my future house, 78 Main St, has been in place for a couple of weeks now, and we have been collecting temperature data. I’m hoping to have some “live” data at the website at some point in the future, but for now I have downloaded 8 [...] Solar Collector We are finally making progress again on the solar heating system at 78 Main St. After building the tank (Solar Storage), building the collector rack and trench to the basement, and building the heat exchanger (see pictures below), the next step was to get the two main loops pumping (see Solar Storage Tank, [...] Solar Thermal Storage It took a while to get this going but we finally have a time-lapsed video of the building of the solar storage tank. This tank was designed by TSS (Thermal Storage Solutions) with installation help from Murphy Cell-Tech and Greenworks Solar. I set up a webcam to get the time-lapsed photography [...]
Solar Storage tank Unfortunately we had a problem with the webcam and didn’t get any time-lapse pictures of the second day of building the solar storage tank (see Thermal storage tank, part 1 from the first day). We did get some video footage and a few stills, see below. The first day was the [...]
Solar heat For our zero-energy building we are using the sun to provide ALL of the heat we will need throughout the winter. After months of discussion, engineering models of heat requirements, heat losses, heat storage and solar heat generation… the team came up with a system. There are three major ingredients: Solar collector |
