Solar power
Harvest electricity from the sun with your own portable solar power supply. Great for off-grid cabins and essential in a power outage or other emergency, this easy-to-build project will teach you how solar power really works.
If you’re considering a large-scale solar power installation, this introductory project can give you the fundamental know-how you need – before you make a major investment.
Solar food dryer
Using the sun to dehydrate fruits, vegetables and meats is a safe, natural way to preserve food’s nutritional value and flavour.
The best food dryers work quickly and efficiently to draw water out of the food. This project has been expertly designed to maximize airflow and make best use of the sun’s drying power.
Solar heat
Yes, you can draw free heat from the sun to for space heating or hot water. But while there are many hobby plans for solar heat collectors that are fun to build, few are efficient enough or durable enough for the real world. Steve Maxwell shows you how to use evacuated tubes, heat controllers and pumps in a well-designed collector for cost-effective solar heating.
