Solar chimney |
When Tom was thinking of installing a solar heater back in 2010, he was worried his house was poorly suited for solar. The east-west facing roof wasn't ideal for maximizing his energy generation throughout the day and the inner-city property didn't have room for a ground mount. However, the house's old brick chimney ran up the south facing wall and was the perfect width for 20-evacuated tube collectors. Now the chimney supports three solar thermal collectors, stacked vertically, generating clean, green heat. Though the bottom panel is occasionally shaded by the adjacent house in winter, the solar thermal system nevertheless generates more than enough energy to supply all the hot water for the household.
Ten years on and the solar heater has been running without a hitch. A testament to Simple Solar's view that solar should fit into everyone's lifestyle and last a lifetime. |
