We are pleased to advise that today (01-NOV-08) we have installed ... yes, installed ... our CSA approved Cansolair Model RA 240 Solar Max solar air heating / collector device to help heat our home this winter and beyond.
The unit is approximately 4 X 7 feet and between 7 and 10 inches deep. Solar air heating devices are so much less complex & cost significantly less than solar PV panels, and can frequently be installed by the average home owner themselves.
Imagine, using the sun's direct light to help heat your home this winter! The Solar Max 240 consumes zero home heating oil or natural gas; it produces no harmful polluting emissions.
To read about our experiences with our Solar Max 240 you can start at the first article in our Solar Air Heating series. If you want more information simply click on the graphic above to go directly to the Cansolair site.
