How it Works. This is the house my grandfather designed and built. It was completed in 1982 and is entirely heated by solar off of very minimal sunlight. The hot water also runs off of the solar panels on top. The system being as simple as it is has not needed any repairs other than replacing the fan motor since it was built. The house stays roughly 80 degrees for 2 days off of only about 4 hours of sun. The house faces south where the sun is present as it rises from east to west in the New England winters.
