@spider69man The idea is to supplement your existing furnace. My furnace only runs when it gets below 65*F at night. Which with a sufficiently insulated house doesn't occur until early morning. My furnace during the day is set @68*F it barely if ever runs during the day. I don't have one exactly like this, I designed mine as a "winter only" heater that sits in a south facing window and is removable in spring/summer. These really work!

How do you make "Hot AIR" when the unit is not in the sun?
-
what do you make yours out of?
-
Keep it up guys :) Just curious, why tape the holes? esthetics? Have you ever considered using a generic thin aluminum sheet flat adhered to thin board or a cheap and light material such as eggcrate with a thin frame around it? Also what is the reasoning to use a fan? Does it increase heat flow vs. natural hot rise drafts enough to earn its cost to buy and run? What is the reasoning?

hi,does the fan have a probe for the thermostat or is it on the casing of the fan?Also can you reverse the fan around so it pushes cold air into the intake (which is way more efficient than sucking warm air)?

@jeffmolly1 NO heat at night?!?! What do you do then?? What if there's no sun out in the day?
What do you use as heat???

@granitestatedave That's funny cause they sell wind turbines, there is at least 4 mounted on the roof of that building.

@garyshouse305 it would be better to add rocks or brick in route of the system then you would have heat at night also!

Hmm, your solar panel is not mounted to be directly in the sun. I'm wondering why you didn't choose an appropriate wall ?
