FAQs


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.
