A Duluth, Minnesota inventor and entrepreneur has come up with an idea to use solar energy to produce solar heat inside your home to reduce your energy bill. This novel and inexpensive solar heating systems is simple and easy to install. It is a heat collecting window blind that looks pretty much like any other vertical blind. If you look closer however you will see that the vertical blinds are hollow,clear on onside with a black strip of aluminum on the inside.
 A 6ft by 8ft Solar heating system on a south facing window can generate 40,000 Btus of heat in an 8 hour period. |
Cool air is drawn in the bottom of each clear plastic vane and is heated as air rises and passes along sun-heated aluminum core inserts. The air exits the top of each vane, re-entering the room at 120 – 140 degrees. The solar heating system is sold under the brand name of Solar Choice and according to the inventor it is capable of reducing your heating bill by as much as 35%. |
