Greetings from the Frozen North :lol:
I have been wondering if its possible to route some piping up into the attic space (Properly sealed so no leaks would occur) to vent off the heat that accumlates up there in the summer. Curious if any of you have ever tried this, or if it even makes sense. I currently have 240 Sq. Ft. of Solar on roof and am looking to see if I can get a boost during those days when the sun isn't terribly hot. My problem occurs from the only way the panels could be installed, as soon as ice goes, and sun comes up in April I get my pool to 80, as the sun sets further and its arc is not so high, I lose that directness and the panels become less effective as the summer goes on. So I am looking at a way of trying to gain more heat.
I am dead set against anything other then passive solar heating.
Ideas anyone?
