Energy Stories Our House Goes Solar

I was telling some friends of mine, "You know, we're having our entire heating system ripped out of the house. The oil tank, the boiler, the pipes, the radiators, all of it will be gone!" So they wanted to know, "What are you going to do for heat?" I told them, "We're going to have evacuated tube solar collectors on the roof, heat storage tanks in the basement, and fan coil convectors in our rooms." Almost everybody wanted to know more about it. They asked me to keep them up to date on how it was going. So I created this page to tell all about our project. Just scroll down to see the segments. Enjoy!
