Default New House Thermal

Per, your pompous post implies that no heat will be exerted from the 800 acres of black panels. I guess my 40 years of soaring and a two plus thousand hours of hp glass time have proven me wrong before, but I would bet on a good thermal from that huge array of panels. Bob

Default New House Thermal

These started appearing in the uk big time last year. My experience so far
is
that like wind farms they are good thermal generators.
Not sure it has anything to do with the solar bit per se as that would
imply
inefficiency but i would think may have the same effect as a busy asphalt
car
park in that it allows the hot air to cling to the ground a bit longer due
to the
panels being on a 30-45 deg slant.
