The Warmth of the Sun, By Scott Milne

The warmth of the Sun. By Scott Milne The rising cost of fuel and our damaging carbon footprint has many families talking about using natural heat from the sun to heat our homes. Solar heating have been around for centuries. Homes were built to face the sun and water was warmed in tanks on the roof. During the 1970’s solar heating from roof top panels enjoyed a boom as the oil embargo had homeowners looking for ways to cut fuel bills. Solar heat is once again an attractive home heating solution as many homeowners look to reduce bill costs and reduce the use of fossil fuels. Many companies are producing computerized, easy to install solar systems complete with roof top panels, a storage tank and a pumping station. In the North East, cost effective solar systems are used for heating domestic hot water. A two-panel system with a storage tank can produce a majority of a homes hot water needs. Using Federal and State tax refunds that are currently available, the purchase of these systems can be quite attractive.
