Solar enthusiasts,
We went to small ecology type demo day today in town and I was quite impressed with the demo trailer set up for the solarmax sytem.

Basically a couple of solar hot air panels hooked to the south facing roof with some insulated ducts piped thru to the ceiling registers.
There was a small squirrel type blower that is thermostatically controlled for daytime use and some type of sensor that turns the system on.
The fellow doing the demo says the panels will reach and maintain over 200 degrees even in winter (Canadian winter) !
Just wondering if anyone ever tried something like this and how would we automate it ?
