You might find the link below if interest - a somewhat larger shop in
my area that's solar heated.


Morris, forgive me for asking if you've explained this previously but
what's the square footage of that shop, the ceiling height and what do
you consider to be a "comfortable daytime temperature" in the winter
months for that particular application?

Also, that makeup heater looks to be just a tad bigger than the one I
have. What is it, about a 7500 watt?

That is just such a great looking installation and shop area and to
think, once installed and paid for, it's nearly maintenance free and
starts paying back immediately.

Were I building/rebuilding my shop, we'd be talking for sureg.

Great work!
