This is part 3, please watch parts 1 & 2 to see how I built this. The testing continues. I have seen alot of you mounting your solar heaters on a flat wall, so I did the same thing. If you angle your box towards the sun you can increase your temp dramatically. The concern I have now is if I tilt the box I could damage my intake and exhaust tubes.

  • to figure the ...

    to figure the proper angle to mount your box get the latitude of your location...google it..then add 15 degrees...so if your latitude is 35.77 degrees..(my location) + 15 the correct angle of my heater should be 51.33 degrees facing south...i built my box using gavalume corrugated roofing material as a heat sink instead of cans...here in tennessee i figured we get good sun and the winter temps are mild so it should be sufficient..im ranging 130 to 160 degree heat on a sunny day...
