These Solar Hot Air Collector System installations in Racine and Kenosha Wisconsin for Wisconsin Electric Power

Preparing the solar hot air collector for installation. Here we see a hole cut into the panel back. The short piece of duct will be attached. Solar heated air will pass through the duct into the house.

Two openings have been cut through the wall. The lower opening will allow cooler house air to enter the solar hot air collector where it will be heated and reenter the house through the upper opening. In this case a small fan is used to increase air flow.

The panel installed on the south wall of the home. This home is owned by Columbus Park Housing, a non-profit housing provider in Kenosha, Wisconsin.

This installation uses 2 panels. It's on a Habitat for Humanity Home in Racine, Wisconsin. Heated air travels through a blower and insulated duct in the attic to enter the house in a central hallway.

Another 2 panel installation. This system helps heat a second floor flat in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
