Solar industry to Obama: Dawn draws near!

Jun 10, 2011 |

It's beginning to look like the sun may never rise on White House solar panels—at least not before the Obama administration's pledge last October to have a new rooftop system installed by the end of Spring 2011. “This project reflects President Obama’s strong commitment to U.S. leadership in solar energy and the jobs it will create here at home,” said Energy Secretary Steven Chu at the time.

With just 11 days to go before the official start of summer and nary a panel up on the roof, solar proponents are getting a bit hot under the collar. “After all, a little home improvement isn’t nearly as complicated as bailing out the banks or saving the auto industry,” the group 350.org wrote in a letter to its supporters , urging them to remind the Obama administration of its promise. “And according to our friends at the solar company Sungevity, the cost of the installation would be earned back with savings on the electric bill in the first five years, so an installation makes fiscal sense, as well.”

Questions & Answers

can a solar water heater be hooked with a tankless water system?

Nov 05, 2007 by anand r
i am thinking about saving cost and energy. want to get a tankless water heater. i would like to have a solar water heater too, but heard that u need a stoage tank for the solar heater. not sure if i can combine the two. anyone got an answer for me?
you could have a 2 panel 80 gallon tank solar thermal system backed up by a tankless. but if you have a tankless, you dont need anything else, it wont work with solar panels, you must have a storage tank. if you have the money, do it. (roughly $10,000) installed with a heating element in your air handler to pre heat your air in the winter. payback around 5 years pending tax credits. if thats to complicated, just do tankless, they are awesome. do both if you have the dough. your neighbors will be jealous.

How can i build a solar heater for an above ground pool?

Jun 12, 2007 by gmstet
I've heard tha t a solar heater can be built using some type of metal that heats up quickly in the sun, you can then use some type of hosing to snake it thru the metal like a radiator i just don't know what kind of metal or tubing.
a neighbor of mine used his roof and 2" black flexible PVC hose.

Instead of looping from the filter right back into the pool....he took the output from the filter and ran it through about 80-120 feet of 2" black flexible PVC tubing over the roof of his house. If you have a 2 story home, this is not an option as the pump will not pump that far up.....this was a 1 story ranch.

The tubing over the roof will absorbe enough radiant heat which will be transferred to the water in the hose......Without any extra expense except the hoses and couplings (about $90)...he was able to maintain about 78-82 degree water.

the more hose on the roof, the more heat transfer.....the heat transfer can be adjusted by minimizing or mazimizing how much hose lays on the roof........

keep an eye on your filter motor that it doesn't over heat.....if the motor is getting too hot, you may need to either RAISE the filter so the pump is pumping to a lower relative altitude or increase the pump size.
