Description
Solar air heaters work by cycling chilled air from the home through a sun-heated panel where the air is reheated and then blown back into the home.
There are several commercially-manufactured, patented models that are available on the market today. These models' prices hover around $1500.00.
There are also many variations on the do-it-yourself solar heater that can be found on the Internet. Many are made using soda cans, recycled glass panes, plywood, downspouts, Styrofoam, and other materials one must gather from various sources. Because the glass panes dictate the size and shape, these solar heater designs are limited to the glass you must find.
Although these solar heaters certainly do the job of heating the air, they are not simple to build nor are the materials easy to find. In addition to the overall difficulty in building some of these solar heaters, their appearance and durability is definitely an issue. Glass panes are heavy and breakable. Wood is also heavy, non sustainable, has a limited lifespan and requires dangerous saws.
The manual you are about to read will explain how you can build an efficient solar heater that is not only simple to build, but is also very durable, light weight and looks like a commercially-built model when complete. There is no heavy breakable glass, no heavy wood, and no dangerous sawing required. With a few hand tools and power drill, you will have what you need to build this heater. The materials used to build this solar heater are light weight, durable, and very strong therefore you will not have any worries when it starts to hail or when the neighbor kids are hitting baseballs next door.
