Simple & Practical Applications for Solar Thermal in
Residential Settings
This presentation will discuss interfacing solar thermal into
the average lifestyle from basic water heating to heating the
home.
Topics to be discussed are:
Return On Investment VS Payback, System Selection,
Drain back VS Closed Loop, Flat Plate VS Evacuated Tube, Energy Metering, and The Future of Solar Thermal. And if time
permits, how to connect to basic systems such as existing water heaters,
tankless, radiant heating, and forced air.
This is a basic class for those exploring investment
in solar thermal. The focus of this presentation is to
familiarize you with the possibilities and power of a well designed and
installed solar thermal system.
