I had this copy of a Forbes article to explain to homeowners the tax credit.

My advise would be for all hydronicaly bent contractors to start walking in this direction. Towards the sun, that is.

I'm off to Radfest and the Solar Decathlon today :)

    Solar Decathlon in D.C.

    Hot Rod,

    Check out the solar thermal system that Mark Eatherton and I help the University of Colorado Solar Decathlon Team design and install.

    I am not convinced that the PV part of the competition is producing economic benefits, but the Warm Board floor and the solar thermal system installed for this entry is designed to heat the 800 square foot home with 95 degree water provided by the solar collectors and stored in the 200 gallon tank. We have a back up in line spa heater in case the system needs a boost when consecutive cloudy days (a rarity in sunny Colorado!) occur.

    Let us know what you find and observe at the Solar Decathlon competition!
