this system is not rugged enough for most areas of the country, I have seen Fafco's pool heaters and fixed many of them. Traditional solar water heaters have a 5 year or less payback not 20.

this is better than nothing but I would want the real deal not a plastic appliance.

shop around

This is a fantastic step in reducing our energy dependence. Once again California leads the nation in innovatative approaches to energy issues.

Shine on!

Right on!

I commend them on their adoption of the Strategies to go beyond oil.
if they could only find a way to harness those volcano's they would have it made.

We saw the racers at their scheduled 30 minute stop in Tulsa Oklahoma yesterday and we were all impressed with the design and functionality of the cars and the enthusiasm that the students in the support staff went about their work. Cars were all opened and new drivers installed, batteries checked, water and supplies added and then new driver went on their way. While all this was happening the solar arrays were physically held at the most optimum angle to gain the most sun in the batteries during the stop. Some teams were very organized with the commander barking out orders in a direct fashion and others were more laid back. A great event and nice to see them up close. My son said he wants to race one someday, making the trip all that more worthwhile.

Shine on!
