It can be installed on your roof by you or your builder. Price:  P.O.A. Low-iron glass captures sunlight inside the Solar Source, creating a greenhouse effect that warms air. Solar powered fans then pump that warm into the house in winter. Meanwhile, a ceiling-mounted vent inside the home returns rising warm air to the Solar Source for additional reheating and recirculation. This keeps heat flowing to living areas and keeps air moving inside the home. In summer, an external vent is opened on the roof-mounted Solar Source unit. This allows rising heat from inside the home to be vented outside, limiting heat buildup in the home. Warmth in winter. Heat extraction in summer. Running all year round, the Solar Source can generate potentially significant energy savings in the typical well-insulated house. How does the Solar Source Work? The Solar Source heater works by using the 'greenhouse effect' to heat air circulated through the roof-mounted unit, and then pumping that heat into the house. The fans that run the unit are powered by solar photovoltaic panels and that means that air is only drawn into the unit when the sun is shining and heat is being created inside it. This means that the Solar Source is self-regulating and needs no 'on/off' switch - making it a 'set and forget device.' The Solar Source's solar-powered fans push air across the unit's internal heated surfaces and then pumps that heat into the home Where to place the Solar Source In new buildings, ducting can be integrated into the design of the home, just as with traditional heating and cooling devices. In cases like this, insulated ducting can be built into walls as the home is built. In existing buildings, a ducting route from the roof down to the floor level of target rooms must be determined. Ducting length should be kept as short as possible to heat minimise losses. Only high insulation ducting should be used. In houses without an exterior space to place the ducting, interior false walls can be built to hide the ducting. Click below for link to website The Solar Source provides free heating and cooling.
