Ronald Ace, photographed at his home in Laurel, Maryland, May 4, 2013, said his flat-panel "Solar Traps," which can be mounted on rooftops or used in power plants, will shatter barriers that have stymied efforts to make solar energy cheap, clean and reliable. His claimed discoveries, which exist only on paper so far, would represent such a leap that they're sure to draw skepticism.

Southern exposure to the Sun is the preferred method of solar heat gain! There are homes that have a narrow room with glass the full length with a rock wall which is warmed to the rear of the windows that will provide free warmth with attaching fans with thermostatic controls for on and off position! The Sun in the Winter hangs low and bathes the solar room. Southern exposure provides Sunlight throughout the day not just East or West.
I'm just a physical chemist, but I (and, probably, my insurer) would have concerns about something 'even' at a 'mere' 1,000 degrees F sitting atop my roof. (Consider the significance of 'Fahrenheit 451'...)
Wouldn't think you'd be bothered with ice dams in the winter, though... '-)
Iris supposed to be 109 here tomorrow. Exposure we don’t need.
It is.
only on paper
Well Mr. Make False CLaims, as the saying goes, the flak is greatest over the target, don’t need my GPS to know I’m right on target. Not very Christian to call others liar, when you are the one refusing to state any facts.
Still waiting to hear which patents you claim the evil oil companies are hiding. Cat got your tongue?
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
“only on paper”
My check?
his solar panel idea is all theory
bump
” his solar panel idea is all theory”
Thank you for the input. Can you provide links to the experiments that validated his theory?
lol as far as I know that article is it.
