Yes, your are correct, sir. At our latitude the sun's heat arrives at an angle. I have plans for a closed box heat exchanger.

>>You would think that with the alleged increase in convective heating by the sun, there would be more wind and storms which would be good for T. Boone Picken's wallet. I have ten solar panels and a bank of twelve batteries in series plugged into a fifteen hundred watt inverter. It works pretty good. I like to be able to hear the house with solar power and remove the gas company from my life, but I need more solar cells and more amperage to get that done.
