Question: I need some insight on solar heating for a house?
(Posted by: Jason on 2010-02-23 15:22:50)
My wife and I are looking at this house that has solar heating and I just want to know a little more about how it all works. The house I'm guessing has solar panels on the roof. In the basement has what a peers to be a regular water heater, next to it is what I think is a solar water heater, it says something like "electric solar storage. " Their are also rechargeable batteries in a different room. they look like car batteries, in a different room their is some kind of small engine that has battery hookups. Plus the solar panels create heat through its own system of ventilation through the house I think. Things I would like to know is how all this works, how long it last. P.S. Would their be a normal gas or electric furnace that operates with the solar unit? |
