Solar Air Heating Residential Solar heated air is an environmentally smart way to heat your home. You can use the free energy from the sun instead of paying your utility for the energy needed to warm your residence, office, workshop, or garage. The energy from the sun will always be free while the electrical or fossil fuel energy will increase in price as the demand for a decreasing resource base becomes stronger. Any un-shaded southeast to southwest facing wall or roof will capture the sun’s energy, but a collector facing directly south will be the most productive location. Factors such as the outside temperature, the intensity of the sun, the size of your space, all contribute to your solar air heater providing up to 100% of the heat you need. The most important factor is energy conservation. You should ensure your home is as energy efficient as possible before you install renewable energy heating equipment. An established rule of thumb for renewable energy systems is that every $1 spent on conservation will save $5 dollars on the cost of the system you need install.

Financial Incentives Not yet available for the residential sector.
Industrial, Business, Agricultural, Institutional Solar energy can be used to augment heating systems in industrial, institutional, agricultural and business buildings. The most common usage is to provide heated make up air in buildings that ventilate interior air outside. One noted benefit of a solar system is that there is less stratification of hot air near the roof and cold air at the floor level.
