Farmers are presently looking for ways to use solar energy. Here is one system in which no fans are used to move air through the solar collector. It is a passive solar collector installed on a south wall, to provide heat for a farm workshop. For best performance, the collector wall should face due south. However, variations of up to 15° will decrease the overall performance only slightly. The solar collector can be installed either on a side wall or end wall, whichever faces south.
