The hot water solar panel


We've made a start in terms of trying to be off-grid .... first step a solar hot water panel made using recycled and low cost materials.  Giovanni, an Italian mechanical engineering student devoted his time while here for several weeks to this project ... I helped with the woodwork and DIY side of things while Giovanni researched designs.



We started with some design ideas on paper ...
 

Giovanni researched designs ...
 

We decided to use pallet wood for
part of the box - the back ...
I showed Giovanni how to dismantle
them ...

  2. Going to graduate school was a positive decision for me. I enjoyed the coursework, the presentations, the fellow students, and the professors. And since my company reimbursed 100% of the tuition, the only cost that I had to pay on my own was for books and supplies. Otherwise, I received a free master’s degree. All that I had to invest was my time. Zonnepanelen
