12. Solar panel

It is a 20x8' hot water solar panel, its mounted on the south wall of my shop it heats my shop floor in the winter.

Water gets hot in it then circulates through pex tubing I laid it all out before pouring the concrete floor. It helps a lot. I have a woodstove and a pellet stove modified to burn all the sawdust, no fossil fuels heat it at all. The building is super insulated.

And I have a 9KW photovoltaic solar panel system on the roof another 1KW system on the ground so our electric is 85 percent solar for the house and shop combined, will be adding another 3kw soon to get to 100 percent.

It is a grid tied system our excess during the day goes back on the grid and we pull off the grid at night
