Read the top 5 reasons why you should build and install your own solar panel.

DIY Solar Panel

This is my air-to-air solar panel that I built myself. It is 90″ tall and 16′ wide. It uses aluminum downspout tubing as the heating method. Air is pulled from a window opening, down a manifold area, through the tubing (which is painted flat black), into the hot manifold end, and into a second window duct. This duct has a fan on it and a thermal switch to control the fan automatically. It has been running since Feb 2010.
