Solar Awning
SHW job I just finished. Pictures of BOS coming.
solar awnings
both of yours look totally sweet, in a way looks even better than a roof installation, as it's performing a dual purpose it looks like it was always meant to be there.
flat plate drainback awning
(with PV on a tracker in background, facing west for afternoon sun)
awning mounts let you get an optimal slope in a way that usually looks pretty good. here too, like the evac tubes above, they can offer a secondary benefit as a window or door awning.
Solar Interceptor
I installed this homemade collector years ago and it still works great, collecting energy and keeping out the hot summer sun.
Thanks, Bob Gagnon

The only south wall I had, but it turned out real well

The cobble is making himself some shoes
I am looking to put up some awnings on my own home, I figure nothing speaks louder than me saying " yes I do have that on my own home". Any suggestions on collectors to use?
Cost is what you spend , value is what you get.
If it were my.....
place I do the Buderus SKS flat panels. They have more of a track record than the evac tubes.
Energy Savings from Awnings
For some reason I don't get too many jobs for solar awning down in Florida. How much
energy savings from awnings can you save from this? If it is worth it do you think I should push these sales more?
