Solar hot water is one of the most cost-effective techniques for putting the sun’s energy to work while minimizing your monthly electricity bill. This workshop is perfect for those interested in creating their own solar hot water system or who simply want an introduction to heating water with the sun. We will be looking at an established solar hot water installation, and discussing design and layout of fittings, necessary equipment, freeze protection, circulation pumps, passive designs, tips and tricks for installation and pros and cons of different systems. At the end of class, students will get some hands-on practice with soldering.
