Solar Air Heat

How Solar Air Heat Works?

As previously mentioned, Solar Air Heat is a supplemental space heating system which uses collectors to transform solar energy from the sun into hot air for homes and businesses. When the sun is shining and the infrastructure needs heat, the system will automatically activate and a fan will deliver it until the building no longer requires it or when the sun is not outside. This system can reduce heating costs considerably in the long-term.

Unlike a PVC solar system, solar air heating panels are mounted vertically on walls that point to the south, so that the aesthetics of the infrastructure do not change too much and to capture the greatest amount of solar energy. This system is completely automatic and can be easily manipulated using a thermostat. You should only turn your solar thermostat on during the early warming season and turn it off when the weather is hotter. Maintenance is simple, since the filters only require an annual change.
