I’m not sure how solar works in parts of the world with cold weather and gloomy skies.
- I feel you need to see the sun for the solar panels to collect the heat, as they rely on the radiative heating effects of the sun to boiling the black surfaces.
Most of the heating devices that I have seen which use solar, utilize black copper tubing to heat the water or air inside. I feel that is how the heating section works when it comes to solar heating devices. I would love to have one now because our central unit just costs way too much to run on a correct basis during these cold Winter time days. There is no sun though so I don’t even feel solar would be an choice this week, unless the solar can somehow store the heat that was collected previously. But I absolutely don’t think how it works as I am not an Heating and A/C professional or anything love that, but so yes, this week is a cold one and I am going to work for a couple of minutes and then ride our bike to go visit our neighbor who lives in a little campervan. She doesn’t have any gas heating in the van right now because she had to order a nut for the gas line. I have it because she had to get it mailed to our flat because she has no address, living in the van and all. She must be cold though because of no Heating and A/C plan and the temps this afternoon getting close to the chilly zone.
