I didn't see any mention in the wiki of integrated solar panels as a roofing material. And for an even easier option there is now a peel and stick version. Nice article in this months Mother Earth News. Peel and stick the solar panel to the metal sheeting, tack it to the roof, cover the peak with a cap. The panels interlock and the cap covers the electrical interconnects. Very slick. On the Geothermal Heating and Cooling page, there is no mention of earth tubes. The Passive Solar Heating and Cooling page makes only passing mention. Earth tubes are a really interesting idea in my opinion. Ah... I see, "Trench Geothermal Cooling" I would also recommend a lot more interconnection between terms, but that takes much work. Overall, its great! I do wish more people would use the wiki abilities of piclist.com, but... --- James Newton, massmind.org Knowledge Archiver james@massmind.org 1-619-652-0593 fax:1-208-279-8767 http://www.massmind.org Saving what YOU know. -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
