This is a video about my second generation pop can solar heater. It is an active solar heater because the 24 volt dc fan is pushing the air through the heating unit. The fan is powered by a 5 watt solar panel. The absorber panel is pop cans painted flat black. Free heat from the sun. I can build and ship you a unit to your specs.

  • no it is actually concentrating the light the would have come through the window because the other side of the unit is flat black and there are 5 other windows in the sunroom where this thing is located

  • @joesudbury No. But he is blocking light. I have something very similar in my 5'x5' south facing window. I don't have additional glass I'm just using the window itself. I tested the ambient solar heat through the window before the heater was installed and the best I ever got on a 45*F sunny day was 90*F in that window sill. I get up to 130*F with the solar heater. It heats from 9am to about 5pm when the sun goes behind the garage. It raised my house temp from 63.5 to 70* today. :o)

  • Come on man, this could be an assistance but 130 degree's really is not that hot coming out and would cool quickly in the ambient air, what is your heating bill since you installed it is what I am interested in.

  • By having this installed in your window aren't you blocking free heat that would normally pass through the window from the sunshine?

    I do think this is a good idea though.

  • Very nice man. Gave me a really cool idea

  • the video will not let me click on the link can you provide the link in the about section because when I did the search on ebay I couldn't find it.

  • So where is the Ebay link? I don't see it either.

  • Where is the link ?

  • please show us the other side too
