These two panels use neither fuel nor electricity, and keep the

Something to think about if/when your heating costs begin to get
out of hand...

depends a lot on local conditions, in pittsburgh with are gloomy days,
the sun doesnt do much espically when the outdoor temperature is zero
degrees.

Weather _does_ make a difference, and although I haven't tracked
Pittsburgh's weather this winter, I can assure you that we've had
our share of gloomy and chilly days (-10 to 20F) here in Iowa
this year.

A really good solar panel (_any_ really good panel, not just
mine) will deliver significant amounts of heat even in complete
overcast conditions.

nice building

Agreed - Gary (the owner) seems pleased with the way it turned
out.
