Diy solar air heating panels.
How much heat a house needs to keep occupants warm is determined by how much it loses.
They also offer a huge saving over equivalent commercially made collectors.
Although there is no restriction on shape they are most commonly flat and rectangular like water or electricity panels.
Inside is an insulated passageway.

Pop can diy solar panels are actually thermal panels that heat and recirculate the air inside the room.
It is really easy and simple to build cheap pop can diy solar panels for supplemental home heating by re using scrap parts and empty pop cans.
This is a very simple and inexpensive project.
If the solar system cannot provide adequate space heating an auxiliary or back up system provides the additional heat.
