Roof Solar Furnace

A solar furnace comprising a roof structure exposed to solar radiation comprising a plurality of elements according to claim 1 and a plenum adjacent to said panel and outside of said cavity for enabling the conductive transfer of heat from said panel.

Roof solar furnace.

Age wise it is close to end of life. These are enormous installations that make use of solar thermal energy for extreme high heat processes temperatures as high as 3500 o c 6330 o f. Solar power can be used in many extraordinary ways. The gable end is perfectly south facing so i will be employing several passive solar features.

The solar furnace roof mount system uses 3 1500gs solarsheat solar air collectors and a full class roof stand combined with thermostat controls mounts and everything you need to install and run three solarsheats tied into your furnace cold air return. The last of which may be an attempt at a solar roof air furnace. The solar furnace s fan has a nominal operating voltage of 12 volts dc at a current of 200ma while the heat output is the equivalent of a few hundred watts when the box is in full sun. The pitch is 10 12.

A solar furnace is a structure that uses concentrated solar power to produce high temperatures usually for industry. Roofit solar modules are building integrated photovoltaic bipv construction elements that replace the conventional roofing and facade materials. The heat produced is very clean with no pollutants. I m building a 28x36 cape in the lakes region of nh.

My roof can accommodate 3x as many solar panels. The attic is unconditioned with continuous ridge and soffett vents. I am looking for suggestions on how to use solar energy towards my heating energy cost. Solar roof is the only roof that can help pay for itself with the energy you produce.

The technology is wonderful for high temperature researchers. For example on a sunny day with a 10 degree c outdoor temperature the furnace was able to increase the interior garage air from 12 degrees c to 29 degrees c. My gas furnace which is not high efficiency is old but works. Because of its location i am unable to replace it with a high efficiency gas furnace.

A dish stirling system is a solar furnace that uses parabolic mirrors to focus sunlight on rock salt which melts and can be used to heat water and produce steam to drive a turbine these are more efficient than photovoltaic solar cells it is said that the greek inventor archimedes used a solar furnace to set enemy ships on fire during a war but this is unlikely as he didn t possess the. The installation is as easy as the installation of standard standing seam metal roof. I was planning on using decking on top of the trusses but now i m thinking of screwing the. The solar furnace allows for all the solar heat generated by the system to be used.

One of the most majestic applications of solar thermal energy is the solar furnace. The series connection of modules is made under the roof sheeting between the battens. Power your home at the lowest price per watt of any national provider and take control of your monthly electricity bill. A solar furnace according to claim 9 in which said plenum is at least partially bounded.
