| youtube has many different solar air heaters that can be readily copied or modified to suit. I am building one now for my home workshop. And a solar batch water heater for my house just from what I have watched and learned on youtube. |

I purchased one for my home back in 1985. A single pannel almost 25 years old still puts out some nice heat. My brother, who lives north of Ft. Wayne, Indiana built his home with 14 pannels over his garage and blows the heated air thru a 10' x 10' insulated room in the basement filled with rocks. He draws the hot air stored in the rocks and heats his home. If it is cloudy for a long period, he still has is geothermal heat pump to fall back on.

How you doing Nogas? Great to see you around. That's great what you did back in 1985!! Do you remember what you paid for that pannel? I bet it has paid for itself many many times over.
I have a new AltEstore catalog listing a SunMate Solar air Heater for $1,760, SolarSheat 1000G for $1,247, & SolarSheat GS for $1,009 with AC fac Package $1,739.

AR, doing great, and yourself? Still hanging around waiting for it to get cold again. $2500 and the tax credit to boot.
