The solar collector pictured above is our primary heat source. It
was manufactured by the Sealed Air
Corporation and donated to us by Simpler Solar Systems, of Tallahassee,
FL. It was originally intended for use in a solar swimming pool heating
system.
The solar collector
is used to heat the water in the reservoir tank, where it is stored and
then used to maintain the temperature of the main tank. The water
in the solar collector can reach temperatures above 120 degrees Fahrenheit
in full sunlight. The solar collector is mounted on a wooden frame
with an adjustable angle so that it can receive maximum sunlight.
