Simply Solar Wall of Fame!

Every person on the SimplySolar e-mail group who builds a functional solar collector deserves to be on our wall of fame!  You are moving the hobby / art / science of solar forward, helping the environment, preserving resources, saving money and encouraging others by your example.  If you are on the SimplySolar e-mail group, please select and send me your one best picture of each collector project that you've completed with a very brief (no more than one line description) and I'll enthusiastically add it below!  If you have a web page with additional information, include the link and I'll make the picture a hyperlink.

The following is sorted by first name, then last name, since that's the way most of us know each other on SimplySolar.

SimplySolar - Solar Forum and E-mail Groups!

I originally set up an e-mail group - SimplySolar, for that purpose.  The e-mail group has served us well, but with overwhelming growth and interest in the e-mail group, to better keep content organized and give members the option to easily follow only the threads that interest them, we have just set up a new Simply Solar on line forum!  SimplySolar is about brainstorming and sharing ways to implement solar heat in easy ways that the average homeowner, who may not be much of a "do-it-yourselfer" (like me), can use to put money back in their pockets, green back in the environment and have a lot of fun along the way!  If solar excites you, we would love to have you join our forum:
