Thanks guys for this new topic.This type of energy production can be as easy as

painting the back of your building with flat black paint.Since heating is the

largest user of energy,there should be alot of neat ideas out there.

It is obvious you haven't lived in the tropics - or Texas.


I will agree it is stupid to generate electricity to heat water, use electricity in refrigeration cycles and throw that heat out with one's air-conditioner and have a refrigerator throwing heat out and buy more electricity for the air-conditioner to get rid of THAT heat - with your "Energy Star", goobernment approved devices.

Save the oil well! It will be easier to grow a tree than finding a dinosaur egg to hatch.

When will there be a solar panel that is cooled by water for higher efficiency and the hot water used also?
