How to install solar film on windows? Did you face any problems?

We Answered:

Go to www.gilafims.com and read there. I have installed on several house windows and very happy with results. The biggest thing is getting the windows clean beforehand and keeping them clean during the installation. Lots of fluid sprayed front and back of the film. Do it on a cool window. Window cannot have any cracks or signs of stress like a shot from a BB or it will crack worse with heat. Some films can come off easier than others.

have not started building shop. need INEXPENSIVE heat/elect. solar, wind options but too expensive. Ideas?

We Answered:

The main problem in selling your surplus energy to the grid is that the utility company is only going to pay you a wholesale price...which is about 1/2 as much as they will charge you for it.
You might look into skylights to harness energy during the day...but you will need to put shades on them to keep the heat from escaping at night.
You could build a compost bin(using saw dust leaves manure etc)and place a few coils of soft copper tubing inside about half way up.
Then you can connect it to insulated pipes and run it into a storage tank in side the shop.
Then you can use the stored heat to warm your shop(most of the winter)and have compost for your garden in the spring.
Be careful though.
once water drop down to about 100 degrees it gets a little stingy with its heat.
Solar oil is high dollar though
You might want to use ridged copper or galvanized steel pipe.
The chemicals in glycol anti freeze will corrode aluminum pipe badly.
You can reduce this by adding a getter column in your return line.
This consists if an expanded pipe(with removable ends.
place a tight roll of aluminum screen wire in the column and connect your pipes to the ends.
It wont stop the corrosion of your pipes entirely but should slow it down.
