How SOLARWALL® Works

SOLARWALL® is a metal cladding that is mounted several inches from a home or building's outer wall. The sun heats up the dark colored surface of the metal and the pre-heated fresh air is drawn by fan through tiny slits in the cladding. It then goes into the buildings ventilation system. SOLARWALL® can also be mounted on the roof.
This is not a primary heating system.

SOLARWALL® Facts
SOLARWALL® was invented about 20 years ago in Canada. The SOLARWALL® has been used extensively in Canada and Europe. There have also been numerous installations in the US and it is becoming more widespread all the time.

Solar heating uses proven technologies, and recent improvements have made it even more cost effective.

A typical SOLARWALL® installation produces 50-70 kwh/sq-ft.

The SOLARWALL® system has had more testing and monitoring by the US and Canadian government that any other solar heating product. Canada has already spent over $1,000,000.00 on testing and field monitoring at Ford, General Motors, McDonell Douglas and other Canadian installations. The US National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has expended twice that amount on testing and improving SOLARWALL®.

SOLARWALL AWARDS

  • The patented SOLARWALL® fresh air heater is so efficient and cost effective that the US Department of Energy's invention program rated the SOLARWALL® heater in the top two percent of energy savings inventions.
  • The federally funded National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Colorado has called the SOLARWALL® system the most advanced solar thermal collector ever developed.
  • The SOLARWALL® heater has received the prestigious R&D 100 Award, the Popular Science "Best of What's New Award" and numerous other international awards.

Indoor Air Quality

Good indoor air quality is the result of an adequate, continuous, supply of fresh air. ASHRAE (the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers) states that the best way to avoid illness due to poor indoor air quality is to increase the volume of fresh air entering a home or building. The negative impact of uncontrolled entry of outdoor air is increased heating cost. SOLARWALL® solar energy systems can solve this problem by using solar energy to preheat ventilation air. Most commercial and industrial buildings replace their air once or twice every hour to provide fresh air and to get rid of contaminated air. Now your home can utilize the same SOLARWALL® technology that has solved indoor air quality problems in numerous industrial applications.
