hope the links and photos work.
Awning mounts are a bit of a pain to install, but I do think they looks sweet and provide a good option when the roof lines don't cooperate.

solar awnings

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.0 -
Solar Interceptor
I installed this homemade collector years ago and it still works great, collecting energy and keeping out the hot summer sun.

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.

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?0
